New Delhi: Ford said on Friday it is recalling 5,397 units of its popular compact sports utility vehicle EcoSport to rectify faulty front lower control arm and driver and front passenger seat recliner locks.
The company said it is voluntarily inspecting 4,379 EcoSport cars, made at the firm’s Chennai plant between May 2017 and June 2017, for weld integrity of the front lower control arm. The weld strength on some of these vehicles may be below Ford specifications, which in rare cases, can potentially affect steering control, it said.
Also, Ford said it is also writing to owners of 1,018 EcoSport cars, made between November 2017 and December 2017, to inspect their cars for driver and front passenger seat recliner locks.
“The voluntary inspections are in line with the company’s commitment to deliver world-class quality vehicles to its customers,” it said.
