US: No Ford EcoBoost 1.6 recall for Europe
By Graeme Roberts | 7 December 2012
Ford won't recall vehicles sold in Europe with the 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine that prompted a fire risk recall in the US.
"We conducted a thorough investigation of the vehicles in Europe with the 1.6-litre engine and determined there is no similar issue in Europe and no need for recall," Ford Europe spokesman Mark Truby told USA Today.
Ford had said earlier this week it was investigating reports of seven fires in Europe in vehicles fitted with the engine which is made in the UK, the report said.
Over 80,000 have been built since 2010 for use in six Ford vehicle model lines in Europe but engineers have decided the European fires do not appear related to the US events and no recall is necessary.
