Description of the problem	While towing a fifthwheel trailer i noticed smoke in the cabin and stopped the truck. Upon opening the hood i found a fire at the firewall on the right side behind the engine. Failing to be able to extinguish the flames i separated the truck and trailer and pushed the truck away from the trailer and dialed 911. The truck was a total lose and after contacting dodge i was told that my truck had already had the recall performed (08v641000) and that they had never had any further problems with these vehicles. Clearly the recall failed to correct the problem at the very least in this case. Chrysler sent an inspector ([xxx]) out to investigate and inspect the truck, his report stated that there were no material defects found. I have a copy of that report if you need. Chrysler has refused to honor the warranty on this vehicle as well. I have a video of the incident taken by my son who was with me at the time. The vehicle is still being held at insurance auto auctions 2299 w. Broadway, phoenix arizona. There was a police report taken as well as a statement to the fire department. Police report [xxx]navajo division of public safety department of law enforcement. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
