Changan Ford Mazda Automobile Company, a joint venture between Changan Automobile and Ford Motor, is recalling 7,563 Ford Fiesta cars due to flaws in some tires.

The recall involves the 1.3L and 1.5L fashion versions of new Fiesta sedans, which were produced between October 22, 2008, and May 14, 2009.

Changan Ford Mazda said it would offer free test and repair services for the recalled cars.

From April 27, 2009, Changan Ford Mazda and FAW Car Company also started to recall some Focus, Mondeo Zhisheng, Mazda3, and Besturn cars. According to statistics from China's General Administration of Quality Inspection Supervision and Quarantine, the latest recall will involve a total of 13,097 cars. The two parties said that they make the recall mainly because of a hidden defect in the cars' glass roof.

    This is Jess Zhang, from Ford China Communication Team. May I talk to you on the misunderstanding in report with the headline as "Changan Ford Recalling Fiestas For Tire Defects", under "consumer" column published on Jul.20, 2009?

    We would like to clarify that there is no quality issue or defect with the tire, only the steel wheel. The issue involves a small percentage of vehicles that may contain small burrs on the surface of the tire valve stem mounting holes on steel wheels. Under extreme circumstances, the burrs may abrade the valve stems, potentially leading to air leakage of the tires. We would highly appreciate if you can update your article and let us know. Looking forward to hearing from you, on email or on telephone 021-28916691/ 13564300480.

    Regards,
    Jess Zhang
