There's no two ways about the fact that Ford makes one of the best handling cars in the respective segments but now it's clear that Ford's a very responsible car maker too. In an official statement, Ford India issued a recall of more than a lakh and a half units of two of it's highly successful cars, the Figo and the older generation Fiesta (now known as the Classic).

The reason behind the recall of 1,66,021 cars is potential issues related to the power steering system hose and the rear twist beam in cars manufactured between January 2010 and June 2012. The examples of Ford Figo and Ford Classic sold between January 2011 till June 2012 will be checked for the issue related to RTB (rear twist beam), while the ones sold between January to August 2010 and between March and November 2011 will be inspected for the Power Assisted Steering (PAS) issue. The company will replace the affected parts if required.

So, if you own any of the two cars, we suggest you get in touch with the nearest Ford dealer, although the carmaker says that it has started contacting owners of the cars manufactured in the above mentioned period. Ford also maintains that it hasn't received any complaints regarding the two parts.
