Ford recommends parking SUVs on the street so that your house doesn't catch fire

Ford recommends stopping SUVs on the street so your house doesn't catch fire.

Spontaneous fires have occurred on Ford SUVs, even after parked and parked for some time.

Quote:
The situation is so dangerous that the blue oval mark recommends that utility owners do not park them indoors, preferring the street.

Because of this, Ford announced the recall of 39,013 Expedition units and 6,302 units from its luxury cousin Lincoln Navigator.
Quote:
To date, 16 fire cases involving ford's two SUVs have been registered in the U.S. and an investigation has been opened in March this year. Coincidentally or not, of these 16 flaming SUVs, 14 were rental and only two purchased by private individuals.
Quote:
In addition, of the total fire cases, 12 SUVs caught fire while still and only four with moving cars. The cause of the fire is not known yet, but apparently originates from the passenger side of the engine. Some customers have noticed the smell of burning and smoke coming out of the foot area in this region.
Because it doesn't know the cause of the fire yet, Ford doesn't have a solution to the problem. However, resales can already receive vehicles for the yard, but the brand recommends that Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition be parked outside the home in order to minimize the effects of a possible fire.

@ volkman10

Sorry, the post left out the important part that it's Ford's petrol engine cars that are catching fire NOT THE EVs!

Second, begs the question, why is this posted in the EV section?

Quote:
Ford Motor Co. has asked the owners of 350,000 vehicles to take them into dealerships to be repaired under a three-pronged recall announcement. About 39,000 of those vehicles should be parked outdoors because their engines could catch fire, Ford said.

Still, the company said the fires can happen even while the engines are off. There have been 16 reports of fires under the hood and 14 of them were in rental company vehicles. Ford hasn't developed a repair for the fires, which appear to start at the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side.
