Description of the problem	I was driving my vehicle when i noticed a small amount of smoke that seemed to be coming from the air system. Someone then exited my vehicle and the smoke billowed and i noticed fire on the passenger side sun visor area. I pulled my vehicle over and upon trying to exit the vehicle, noted that there was smoke coming from both sides near the side impact airbags and throughout the car. The fire was contained mostly to the passenger side, interior, but also went through the upper metal roof and was smoking exterior and causing the paint to bubble and crack open. Fire was put out by the local fire department and no injuries. Most of the damage is on the passenger interior and exterior, but other unknown damage and white dust was seen near the airbag areas too. Sidenote - the current recall on the passenger side sun visor for this vehicle was repaired at the local dealership 3 weeks ago.
