Tata spokesperson informed Tata Motors to replace starter motor in 1.40 lakh Nano cars - The Economic Times that the company has not received even a single complaint against the motors. The company is taking proactive steps to offer improved nano performance experience to customers. The exercise began in October this year and until now over 50k motors have been replaced. The company will replace motors in all the old nanos sold until now. The estimated number of Tata Nano cars sold in India is around 140,100. The company has already announced Tata Nano 2012 in November which offers a better and more powerful engine, improved fuel efficiency and a better design. This is not the first time Tata Motors asked users to take their cars to service centers. About an year ago, the company had recalled over 70k cars to install a fire-safety device free of cost. There were multiple reports of Tata Nano cars catching fire, which have ceased after the fire safety device was installed.

We think Tata Motors is preparing their old Nanos for the upcoming competition from Baja Auto. Bajaj Auto is expected to launch #-Link-Snipped-# at Delhi Auto Expo 2012. We'd like to know from our Tata Nano owner friends to tell us your experience with the replaced motors and any specific problems you're facing with the old motors.
