The investigation was carried out under a team of experts from across Tata Motors group, including the Nano project team, passenger and commercial vehicles businesses, the Engineering Research Centre, the Tata Motors European Technical Centre, and Jaguar Land Rover. An independent forensic expert from the UK was also a part of the investigation.

The investigation, conducted by a 20-member Tata Motors Group team and an independent forensic expert, has reaffirmed that the Tata Nano is a safe car. The investigations have also revealed that the incidents were not related.”
Company explained the cause of the March 2010 incident to be caused by a foreign object in the exhaust system and the other case that happened in April, to be due to a ruptured fuel line.

Doesn’t ruptured fuel line mean a defect lead due to cheap quality spares??????
Yes Mahesh you are right. Tata is just trying to escape from the issue to sell its hot “firing” nano. Also how come a foreign object enter in the exhaust system, this would have happended due to careless assembling of the car which is again a manufacturing defect. This also means that the engine is not refined and is pron to catch fire very easily due to the heat dissipation from the engine’s body. Nano is still “NOT” safe, nano is still “nono”.
