One month old Tata Punch (petrol Accomplished variant with AMT gearbox) caught fire while being driven on a National Highway in Gujarat in early April 2023. Although the car was totally gutted, the occupants in the car managed to escape the inferno unhurt.
The owner of the month old Tata Punch, Prabal Bordiya, managed to take a few pictures and record a video of his car burning. He wrote, “While driving my Tata Punch, which I purchased just one month ago, the bonnet caught fire automatically. Within moments, the car was engulfed in flames and was reduced to ashes within minutes, putting our lives at risk. Thankfully, we were able to escape from the car immediately and avoid serious injuries.”
A couple of weeks later Tata Motors came forward with an official statement about the accident. Tata Motors spokesperson said, “We are actively looking into this thermal incident. We understand from the customer that fortunately all occupants are safe and unhurt. We are engaging with the customer and investigating agencies to offer all possible support and will be conducting a detailed investigation to ascertain the facts/ reasons of this unfortunate incident. Safety of vehicles and their users remains our foremost priority at Tata Motors.” He had filed an FIR, too.
