Description of the problem	I was driving south bound on rte 295 in warwick ri traveling approx. 65 mph in a straight pattern when i heard a snap under my car. My car skid and my hydroplane light, oil light and engine light came on. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw sparks. I pulled over and at this time my car stalled. When i exited my vehicle there was a fire in the undercarriage of my engine. 911 was dispatched and my car was engulfed in flames in minutes and was a total lose. There was a recent recall in the pistons causing fire damage to the model, make and year of my car. I was not notified of the recall and it was never repaired.
