Ford Motors has recently recalled some of its diesel vehicles sold in India. The vehicles include selected diesel variant of Ford EcoSport, Ford Figo, Ford Freestyle and Ford Aspire. The recall of the vehicle was made because of higher emission rates.
According to reports, the car manufacturer has recalled vehicles that were manufactured between January 1, 2020 and June 9, 2021. The estimated vehicles that were recalled by the company were above 30,000. All the models that have received a recall had their BS6 upgrade in January and February 2020.
