Dec 27, 2011A friend told me that the Nano has a starter motor problem and the company is recalling the cars for replacing them. I never had any problem with my Nano and I know quite a few people driving this wondercar, nobody complained either. I had to dig deep to find out the truth, for if my first car has a problem it needs to be fixed, and I landed up googling for the official statement. Guys, they are doing a free upgrade of a perfectly good working starter motor of the older Nano to the one in the Nano 2012 so that we can have a performance boost. Love you Tata for caring so much about your customers!
