Ford India on Tuesday announced the recall of 20,752 units of EcoSport – its sub-4-metre compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) – over concerns of fuel and vapour line corrosion.
Ford India will inspect EcoSport variants, made at the company's Chennai plant between January 2013 and September 2014, for concerns of fuel and vapour line corrosion in the long-term.
"The company will also check the vehicles for reorienting wiring harness related to the correct deployment of side airbags," the company said in a statement.
"For their peace of mind, we have initiated a field service action to correct product concerns on 20,752 Ford EcoSport vehicles in India. This is a proactive, voluntary recall action to ensure customers' safety and satisfaction, the statement said.
The company is contacting customers for the free-of-cost necessary rework, which can be done at company's local dealer outlets.
According to reports, the company last week had recalled India-made EcoSport in Australia for issues related to the wiring harness that connects the curtain airbags, seatbelt pretensioner and side impact sensor. A total of 2,804 units of EcoSport manufactured between 15 June, 2013 and 26 August, 2014 in India, have been recalled in Australia.
