Proton concerned over reports of Exora bursting into flames


KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd (Proton) is very concerned by photographs being circulated on social media of a Proton Exora bursting into flames at the Cheneh exit along the East-Coast Highway Phase 2 (LPT2) on Feb 17, 2015.

“In the postings, some of the netizens claimed that the Exora was faulty due to an increase in temperature as a result of over-filling of fuel, causing the car to catch fire, while others speculated that the incident was due to a leaking fuel tank,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.
