“I am the homeowner and the mother of the vehicle owner, [XXX]. I am submitting this statement about a fire involving her parked Ford Bronco in my garage. I was the only person home when I discovered the fire. At approximately 8:30 p.m. on XXX, I had just gotten out of my backyard pool when I heard a loud thump that seemed to come from around the garage. After entering the house, I heard another loud sound. When I opened the door between the house and garage, smoke came into the house. I called [XXX]. [XXX] texted me at 8:34 pm as she received a text notification that her tire pressure was low and asked me to check. I went outside through the front door to the driveway and opened the garage door. Black smoke came out. While speaking with [XXX], I obtained a garden hose and returned to the garage, where I saw active flames coming from the rear-left area of the Bronco.

The dealership said that they tried to reproduce the issue but couldn’t get it to leak. It’s because they aren’t using water at a high pressure and speed. I have since found that the issue is know as it is listed on the internet in multiple places.”
