Ford Recalls 20,752 EcoSport SUV To Check Corrosion Issues

Ford India on Tuesday said that it will recall 20,752 EcoSport SUV, made at the company’s Chennai plant between January 2013 and September 2014, to correct concerns about fuel and vapour line corrosion in the long run.

The car manufacturer will also inspect the vehicles for reorienting wiring harness related to the correct deployment of side airbags, as per a statement issued by the company, adding that the safety of its customers is always priority at Ford India.

The Chennai-headquartered company is writing to customers and asking them to get in touch with their local Ford dealer so that the necessary rework can be carried out without paying a single penny.

It is important to note, Ford India also exports EcoSport to more than 35 countries located in different corners of the world. In November, Ford India exported 7,101 vehicles as against 4,141 vehicles a year ago, while domestic sales were at 5,661 vehicles as compared to 7,909 units sold in the same period last year.
