Description of the problem	On september 15, 2010 the rear passenger door to my 2007 dodge grand caravan caught fire 1 foot from my 2 year old daughter who was strapped in a 5 point harness car seat. I picked my son up from school at approximately 5:45, with my daughter in tow. I operated the rear passenger door to put her back into her seat after signing out my son with no issue. I noticed nothing wrong with the door. I drove approximately 1 mile to my house. Halfway home i smelled something and when i pulled into the driveway, i saw smoke coming from an unknown source. I thought it was my air conditioning unit and by turning the car off i would solve the problem of the smoke. I tried to operate the automatic doors for my rear passenger doors but they didn't work. I was able to manually open my rear driver's side door but was not able to open the rear passenger door no matter how hard i pulled. I had no idea that door was on fire at that point. I noticed nothing wrong with the door other than it wouldn't open. I had to climb into the back through the other side to get my daughter. I went in to the house, still thinking that everything would stop smoking once the car cooled down and let my dog out in the back yard. I came back around to the front of the house after 5 minutes. I saw gray smoke billowing out of the rear drivers side door i had left open to air out the car. I walked around to the passenger's side and i saw the paint bubbling and melting and little flames licking the glass of the door. At that point i called the fire department and my neighbor took the hose to the car to put out the external fire. The fire department came in 5 minutes and put out the fire in the door. They gave me the burned piece and said they believed that the fire started in the motor for the automatic door. I called in a complaint to chrysler/dodge. My reference number is 19962230 with them.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
