Ford India recalls 16,444 units of compact SUV EcoSport

 
US auto major Ford is recalling 16,444 units of its popular compact SUV EcoSport manufactured between November 2013 and April 2014 in India to rectify faulty rear twist beam bolt, which is a part of suspension.
"In some of the affected vehicles, there is a possibility that the Rear Twist Beam (RTB) bolt may not be tightened to specification, which may cause the pivot bolt to break," Ford India said in a statement.

With Ford's latest recall, over 13.25 lakh vehicles have been recalled by various manufacturers in India so far.

In September 2015, Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) had recalled around 2.24 lakh units of its premium sports utility vehicles -- CR-V, sedans Civic, City and hatchback Jazz, manufactured between 2003 and 2012 - to replace faulty airbag inflators in the largest such exercise in the country.

Previously, Ford India had recalled also 1,66,021 units of its Figo and Fiesta Classic models in September 2013 to rectify faulty rear twist beam and the power steering hose.
