Ford has issued a voluntary recall of 48,000 diesel EcoSport models manufactured between April 2013 and June 2014, and 700 EcoSport models manufactured between January and February 2016. Ford had earlier recalled the EcoSport in November last year to rectify an issue with the rear suspension.

The 48,000 units have been recalled to install a new bundle clip on the fuel and brake lines, whereas the 700 units are being called in to replace the bolts on the split folding rear bench.

In a statement, the carmaker said that “the 40 percent rear seat backrest might have been assembled with bolts that do not meet Ford’s material specification”, and therefore could be prone to failure.

Owners of the EcoSport models affected by the recall can contact their local dealers to have the faulty parts replaced at no cost.

This voluntary recall is Ford’s second in two months with the automaker previously recalling the Figo and Figo Aspire over a glitch in the model’s airbags which could affect the unit’s deployment.

Tata is all set to launch its new flagship, the Hexa crossover on January 18, 2016. Bookings for the Hexa opened some time ago with the down payment set at Rs 11,000, regardless of the variant selected.

Tata will sell the Hexa in five trim levels with the price starting around Rs 12.5 lakh for the base 2WD XE trim and going up to Rs 17.5 lakh (estimated, ex-showroom) for the top-spec XT 4WD. Two engine options are on offer. The XE comes with a 2.2-litre, 150hp, 320Nm Varicor 320 motor mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, while the other trims come with a more powerful 2.2-litre, 156hp, 400Nm Varicor 400 engine coupled with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Information collected from various Tata dealers nationwide confirms that the auto-gearbox equipped trims XMA and XTA are in high demand. Though quite a few dealers are ready to deliver the car by early February, in most cities, the waiting period is slightly longer for these trims.

The manual-gearbox-equipped trims with the Varicor 400 engine are next in line as far as customer interest goes, with deliveries being promised by the end of January.

The base XE variant has also generated decent customer interest. It comes with features like a six-speaker audio system, projector headlamps and so on, along with safety features like dual airbags. The top-spec 4WD XT trim with manual gearbox is the least in demand.

The Tata Hexa is available in five shades of paint, with the Royal Blue attracting most eyeballs.
