Tata Nano

Tata Motors today announced that the company will be recalling some of its Nano city cars to install a fire safety device. In past few months, there were reports of the Nano catching fire due to various unknown reasons across the country including Mumbai, Lucknow, Delhi and in the state of Gujarat.

“Yes, customers have been informed. Some have been already recalled,” Tata Motors Managing Director ( India Operations) P M Telang said.

When asked about the number of vehicles that will be recalled, Mr. Telang said, “We don’t know exactly how many vehicles will be recalled as we have to check how many Nanos have to be rectified.”

Tata Motors Group CEO and Managing Director Carl-Peter Forster had said that the company planned to introduce additional safety features in the small car in the wake of reports of the car catching fire.

“The company has taken up several corrective measures and will now offer cover tool on catalytic converter to prevent the car from catching fire. It will also install fuse in electrical components to avoid short circuits,” he had said.
