Ford India on Friday said that it is going for a voluntary recall of 3,072 units of its diesel variant of Fiesta sedan manufactured between October 2010 and December 2011.
This is to correct the glow plug control module, the company said.
Glow plug control module is a heating device used to aid starting diesel engines, because high speed diesel engines can be difficult to start in cold weather conditions.
This is part of the Ford Motor Company’s global recall of 2.21 lakh units of Fiesta. However, the Indian recall of the 3,072 units was only on precautionary measures, the company said.
“The safety and comfort of our customers are always the top priority at Ford. We have initiated a Field Service Action to correct a product concern on 3,072 Ford Fiesta TDCi vehicles,” the company said in a statement.
Ford is writing to customers and asking them to contact their local Ford dealers so that a new design, waterproof glow plug control module can be installed free of charge, it said.
“This is a proactive, voluntary recall action to ensure customers’ safety and satisfaction and no accidents or injuries related to this concern have been reported,” the company added.
