Description of the problem	To whom it may concern, two weeks ago my 2013 hyundai santafe sport turbo (which i purchased new in 2013) experienced an engine stall as i was driving on the freeway. I was able to coast to the side of the road and then experienced an engine fire that has caused extensive damage. The fire was extinguished as quickly as possible, but not before extensive damage had been caused. I had my car towed to my local auto shop and they have quoted the damage in excess of $2,000 and indicated that they believed the fire was due to a short in the electrical system. Upon doing some quick research on the internet, it seems that my experience is not uncommon. I see that an official investigation was opened in july 2018, yet there has not been a recall yet. If a recall had been issued, i would not have experienced this loss. Please let me know what course of action i should be taking. Thank you for your assistance.
