According to a Tata official, the replacement is being provided to all customers, free of cost, was not due to any safety concerns. A starter motor is actually an electric motor helping in rotation an internal combustion engine to initiate the engine's operation under its own power. It was clearly said that the cost borne by company on about 145,000 Nanos sold till date could be around 1.1 billion rupees ($20.8 million).
According to reports, in November, Tata offered Nano owners the option to install safety protection in their vehicles after local media reported that seven cars had caught fire. The carmaker then said it was not a recall as the fires were specific to the units.
