Ford to recall 42,300 cars with airbag issue in India
Figo and Aspire customers will have a software upgrade carried out free of charge through their Ford dealership, the company said.
New Delhi: US carmaker Ford will recall around 42,300 units of hatchback Figo and compact sedan Figo Aspire in India to fix a software glitch that could lead to malfunctioning of airbags during a collision.
Ford India is proactively issuing a voluntary safety recall for the two models built at the Sanand plant since the launch until April 12, the company said in a statement.
“The affected vehicles may contain a software error, which could result in the airbags not deploying in certain collisions in which they are intended to deploy,” it added.
Figo and Aspire customers will have a software upgrade carried out free of charge through their Ford dealership, the company said. A corrective action on all Figo and Figo Aspire vehicles, presently at Ford dealerships, has been undertaken, leading to a resumption of deliveries to customers, it added.
