Ford China Venture To Recall 220,000 SUVs Over Fuel Leak

Ford Motor Co’s China joint venture will recall roughly
220,000 Kuga sports-utility vehicles (SUVs) over potential fuel leakages,
China’s quality watchdog said on Friday.

A company spokeswoman confirmed the recall is specific to
China.

Driving on severely bumpy roads could lead fuel tubes in the
SUVs to rub against other components, over time leading to wear and tear and
potential fuel leaks, the watchdog, the General Administration of Quality
Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said on its website.

The recall affects Kugas produced by Changan Ford, a 50-50
joint venture between Ford and Chongqing Changan Automobile Co, between 2012
and 2014.
