(June 1, 2010) India's Tata Motors says there is nothing wrong with its tiny, inexpensive Nano. Those findings after completing an investigation of two Nano fires, both of which received extensive press because of dramatic pictures showing the cars fully involved in fire.

Tata said it has undertaken a comprehensive investigation related to the cause of fire in the two Nanos.

"On the basis of the findings of the investigation, conducted by a 20-member internal team and an independent forensic expert, Tata Motors assures all customers that the Tata Nano is a safe car, with a robust design and state-of-the-art components."

Tata says the two fires were unrelated indicating the incidents occurred while cars were being transported in one case to a customer and in the other to a dealership.

The Mumbai incident occurred in March 2010 about one-and-a-half hours after delivery to a customer. Remnants of a foreign object on the hot exhaust system most probably led to combustion, Tata says. In the incident of the second car in Gujarat’s Anand district in April 2010 there was evidence of a ruptured fuel line. The car was being delivered to a dealership.

Tata said these inspections do not constitute a recall.
