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:
“It began with begging.
In the beginning it was all God’s icebox
and everyone ate raw fish or animals
and there was no fire at night to dance to,
no fire at day to cook by.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
