MG Reveals VIN Numbers of Damaged Cars to Avoid Public Fraud

A few days ago, Morris Garages (MG) Pakistan took a devastating blow as seven of its brand new HS SUVs that were being transported on a car carrier were badly damaged as the truck had flipped over sideways at Daulatpur, Sindh.

Images shared on social media showed the accident and the damage that has caused a huge loss for the company and is a matter of concern for its potential customers.
