Tata Motors has decided to replace the starter motor of an estimated 1.40 lakh Nano free-of-cost. Intensely denying this is a recall, the company said it is changing the old starter motor with a new and ‘better’ one, an exercise that will reportedly to cost the firm around Rs 110 crore.

“We have devised a better starter motor and so we are upgrading it in our old Nanos for improved performance. We have not received any complaint for this and this is not a recall,” a Tata Motors spokesperson said.

The replacement exercise had started in October and so far, the manufacturer has successfully replaced 50000 starter motors.

It may be recalled that we reported incidents of Tata Nano engine catching fire without any particular reason in the past. And even though the company’s investigation gave clean chit to the car model it Nano fire did not stopped.

Tata Motors has been facing issues with the Nano and its customers are not “so happy” with the performance of the car. Hence, the company is trying every possible way to satisfy its customers.
