Ford has announced a voluntary recall of 20,752 Ford EcoSport vehicles in India. This exercise follows a recall of the Chennai-made SUV in Australia little over a week ago.

Ford India will inspect EcoSport variants manufactured between January 2013 and September 2014, for 'concerns of fuel and vapour line corrosion in the long-term'. The company says it will also check the vehicles for reorienting wiring harness related to the correct deployment of side airbags.

This is the second recall of the compact SUV in India. The first recall was in July 2013, just after a week after its launch. The diesel variants of the EcoSport were recalled to fix a snag with the glow plug module which required it to be relocated.
