The blazing Nanos (pun intended) has of late become one of the most talked events in recent days. But now when Tata Motors pitched in to clear the cloud that shrouded these unfortunate happenings and came out in the open to give a clean chit to the car, we are damn sure many Nano owners and potential buyers of the world’s cheapest car heaved a sigh of relief.

A team of 20 members from Tata Motors and an independent forensic expert conducted their investigations on the two separate fire incidents and came to a conclusion that the two fire incidents were not related. The Nano Fire Accident in Mumbai has been suspected because of the presence of some foreign matter on the hot exhaust of the car which led to fire. The Vadodara Nano Fire Accident was found to be because of a ruptured fuel-line of the car.

Tata Motors in a reassuring move to the potential buyers and owners of the Nano has declared the Nano is quite safe and it will perform a safety inspection for all the Tata Nano users in India free of cost. Needless to say, it is some sort of low profile recalling without ruffling many feathers.

But Tata Motors clarifies and maintains that the safety inspection on the Nanos are not a part of any Recall, rather these are intended to inspect any safety flaws in them. If any such flaws are to be found on any particular car, it will be fixed by Tata Motors. Tata will contact Nano customers and will fix appointments for such inspections.

Well, Allz well, that ends well.
