Mine was built between those dates. Hope they figure out what is causing the fires quickly.

A little more info here: https://www.clickondetroit.com/cons...rs-ford-recalls-suvs-due-to-engine-fire-risk/

"Ford has reports of 16 fires under the hood, 14 in rental company vehicles. One person was burned. It's recommending that the SUVs be parked outdoors and away from buildings. So far it hasn't developed a repair for the fires, which appear to start at the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side.

Of the 16 fires, 12 happened while the SUV engines were turned off"

maybe some of the cardboard and felt skid plates are getting too hot from the exhaust, j/k, what a crap shoot. There are videos on here of epxy owners in 2018/2019 that have had engine fires, but in general they were while the vehicle was operating, definitely not in an off state, which to me could only lead to one thing, electrical, or I suppose fuel leaking onto exhaust but that would happen immediately after driving, not while sitting in a garage for hours and hours.

Don't feel any false sense of security if your Gen IV was built outside of those dates. 20/39000 is 5/100ths of a percent.....that is actually 1/3 the rate for thermal events in gas powered new vehicles in general; however, as mentioned above most thermal events occur while the vehicle is running, making these noteworthy. With such a low sample size and no described cause....and so few parts changed between '20 and '21...make sure your house insurance is paid up if you have anything built within a year those dates.

Just saying.

I'm guessing that's the date range of the ones that caught on fire. Mine's right in the middle Feb 21. Probably a bad batch of a certain part in the electrical system that corroded over time leading to a short or overheating in a circuit. Of course, that opinion and three bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Oh wait, that was before inflation.

This feels pretty crazy. Considering my garage is below my kids bedrooms, I am going to park outside till they figure it out. Sucks cause we have 4-10 inches of snow forecasted tomorrow. Gotta love Colorado.
