Recalls

THE Fiesta Mk7 has been the subject of eight recalls so far, which equates to less than one a year since it was introduced. Three of those were aimed at diesels specifically; the other five were for Fiestas as a whole, but some involved only a small number of cars.

A seatbelt-anchoring problem affected just 15 Fiestas, while a mere 69 were involved in a detached-axle recall. Larger numbers were caught up in campaigns because of exhaust fumes entering the cabin, failed rear suspension mounting bolts and issues with back seatbelt buckles.
