The black plastic of the headlight is developing cracks and all the nearby plastics have already broken. The plastic is so dry and breaks off like a potato chip.<\/h2>\n

BHPian TMitall <\/strong>recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

I own a Tata Tigor XZ+ 2019 model purchased in may 2019. The car has clocked 50100 Km till now.<\/p>\n

Heads up<\/strong>: The car while strong, compact, fun to drive in city has been a true nightmare to own. Tata sold me a lemon and car visits service centre every month or two- the longest this car has been away from service centre was 4 months that too because of my marriage falling in between and me not having time to get minor issues checked.<\/p>\n

The current issue 1<\/strong>: Plastics of engine bay especially headlight plastics on the back\/inner side developing cracks and on touching falling<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you may see from photos the black plastic of headlight is developing cracks and all the nearby plastics have already broken. The plastic is so dry and breaks off like a potato chip.<\/p>\n

I talked to service centre regarding this and all they had to say was headlight is not covered under extended warranty and will be chargeable to replace. Didn’t give me a clear idea whether not replacing the same would be safe in long run, if the plastic of headlight breaks and water enters in.<\/p>\n

So I need your advise on whether i should go for replacement or let it run?<\/p>\n

Current issue 2<\/strong>: Engine heating up- problem found- radiator fan needs replacement second time in 3 years.<\/p>\n

Solution by tata: Your last service was delayed by 3 months (not my mistake- read on), so we will not give claim under extended warranty. I sent mail to higher managements and only 60% claim has been approved.<\/p>\n
