Engine
2 reports1 fire
“On March 19, 2025 upon driving my car home from a 1 hour commute I sensed a unique, uncommon smell - like some sort of electrical component burning. I parked the car in my garage, turned it off and went inside my house. Within 5 minutes the engine was producing gray smoke followed by fire. The car went up in flames in less than 10 minutes. The fire spread to the attic and burned most of the house. I read recently that according to NHTSA, 292,000 ProMaster vans built between 2018 and 2026 are recalled due to a potential fire hazard linked to the cooling fan module. The ProMaster City has not been included in this recall. This seems like a mistake.”
