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.

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.”
