New Delhi: Ford India has announced the recall of 3,072 units of the Fiesta diesel cars to replace a faulty part.

The concern involves replacing the Glow Plug Control Module, a component used to heat the engine in cold starts. The recall will be free of charge to the consumer, the company said.

A similar problem in the glow plug module had also led Ford to recall about 1,000 units of the newly launched EcoSport diesel in July 2013. Ford India had last initiated a recall in September, 2013 for 1.66 lakh units of the Figo and Classic (old Fiesta) models.

The Fiesta in its new avtaar was launched in June 2014 and was only launched in the diesel variants. With prices starting from Rs 7.69 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).

Earlier this month, Toyota Kirloskar Motor had announced recall of 119 units of its sedan Camry, manufactured between March and July 2011 in Japan and sold in India, to rectify a defect in front suspension.
