Tata To Recall Its Nano Car, To Install A Fire Safety Equipment
Posted on: 10/Nov/2010 7:11:21 AM
Tata Motors on Wednesday said it would ask Nano customers to bring back their cars to add safety devices free of cost to prevent the vehicles from catching fire, but insisted it was not a "recall."
The company, however, said that the addition of safety devices, a lesson learnt from some of its brand new Nanos catching fire, was optional.
After these incidents, Tatas had engaged experts to get into the details for the cause of the mishaps, and its internal report had said that there was no manufacturing defect.
"We would be informing the customers that these are the additional protection we are willing to provide.
"We are quite convinced that Nano is safe, based on our investigations. However, we feel that probably there may be some extraneous circumstances where people may want additional protection," Tata Motors Managing Director (India Operations) P M Telang told PTI.
