ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES PROMPT PROBE
The government has opened an investigation into some Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute SUVs after receiving complaints of engine compartment fires, according to the Detroit Free Press.
“The investigation involves more than 600,000 SUVs from the 2001-03 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had received eight complaints of engine fires around the antilock braking system's electronic control module. Ford spokeswoman Kristen Kinley said Friday there have been no reports of injuries linked to the fires and the automaker was cooperating with the agency's investigation.”
