Description of the problem	On june 13th. My 2008 toyota tundra inexplicably cought on fire. The fire was located on the left side of the dash and the left front door. The truck was running, idle with the air conditioner on the windows were up. I had both of my small dogs inside. I was not in the truck . That day was clear sky and starting to get hot for the dogs . I always leave the truck running with ac on for them. I was busy working on a 2000 hino medium duty truck. My truck was parked next to the hino . I was in the hino. My client alerted me of smoke coming out of my cab. I immediately went to open the door all i saw was smoke and one of my dogs was barking the other i had to go in to find. He was alive but not barking. I removed both dogs the fire had melted my dash on the left side there was not any flames on dash just smoke the only flames where on my jacket that i had left on the floor driver side front. I pulled my jacket out through onto ground . My client than told me to use a fire extinguisher to be safe. I did . Thats it i didnt call fire department . The fire was over but it caused allot of damage. I don't understsnd how this could happen. I first tried to get someone to inspect it before i took to toyota dealership where i bought truck new. Could not find one in area. I took to dealer about 3 weeks later they could not explain it so they directed me to toyota headquarters on july 31st. Now toyota headquarters has not told me what caused this fire i'm assuming they are still investigating it. Can you please come and look at my truck i did take some pictures if you would like. Thank you. The fire happened in south san francisco in a parking lot for a big warehouse. Buisness area not residential.

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.
