Official: Ford recalls diesel variants of EcoSport over issue with glow plug module

Ford has issued a recalled for the diesel variants of the EcoSport over an issue with the glow plug module.  We had earlier reported that the company had told its dealers to stop taking bookings for the diesel variants for a period of three weeks in a bid to meet excess demand. It is now likely that this issue too may have been a factor in halting the production. 

The official statement from company reads “As part of routine checks, we discovered a potential concern with EcoSport diesel variants related to the Glow Plug Module which requires relocating the module. We are contacting customers to take their vehicle to their Ford dealership to have the work carried out. No accidents or injuries have been reported related to this issue and this is a proactive, voluntary recall action to ensure customers’ safety and satisfaction.”

So for those of you who own diesel variants of the EcoSport, we suggest you contact your nearest Ford dealer to find out if your vehicle is a part of the recall.
