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:
“The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
