Fire Investigations
In 2010, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into 1993-2004 model year Jeep Grand Cherokees which involves the fuel tanks of these SUVs. Because the gas tanks are mounted between the bumper and rear axle, a rear collision could cause the fuel tank to leak, causing a fire. Fifteen people have died from fires involving these vehicles. Also affected are 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty models and 1993-2001 Jeep Cherokee models, which totals about 5.1 million affected vehicles.

Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a case like the present.”
—William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)
