The Vietnam Register has just approved Ford Vietnam to recall and repair Fiesta cars due to electrical system errors.

According to the Department of Registration, the cause of the recall is due to direct friction between the electrical system wires and the transmission suspension on the Ford Fiesta. This friction over a long period of time can cause a short circuit and damage to the vehicle's electrical system; a malfunction warning light may come on on the dashboard.

The total number of faulty Fiesta cars in the Vietnamese market is 1,189, including both sedan and hatchback models produced between July 24, 2013 and August 30, 2014.

Ford Vietnam will start the recall campaign for recalled vehicles from August 31 at Ford authorized dealers nationwide. The inspection and repair time is expected to take about 1 hour for each vehicle.

Ford Fiesta vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Company and imported into Vietnam that are subject to recall as announced by Ford Motor Company will also be assisted and replaced free of charge by Ford Vietnam according to the recall program.
