On Twitter, Saurav Nahata posted the pictures. He wrote that he purchased the Tata Harrier in December 2021 after reading favourable reports about its construction quality. Additionally, the consumer stated in his post that he is shocked to see how casually the top brand is treating the important incident.

The plastic panel behind the LED DRL has really caved in, as can be seen in the photos, and the paint is also flaking off the surface. Similar patterns can be seen on the SUV's front grille, which suggests that the grille has melted due to heat.
