Description of the problem	While driving on u. S. 84 highway in alabama i noticed the engine making a strange noise and pulled over to the side of the road. I could then see smoke coming from under the hood, when i opened the hood i could see at the base of the engine orange flames. Used water bottles on hand to put out the fire. After my insurance company sent out inspectors it was found that wiring to the oxygen sensor had shorted out causing the fire. Inspectors believe it was faulty wiring that caused the fire.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
