2011 self ignite

Hi guys
i normaly hang out on the IDI forum. My son had a 11 or 12 superduty until about 1130 Tuesday night when it decided to catch itself fire. He said another company had 2 or 3 do it. The arson investigator said there was no foul play. I checked for a recall did not see any. Has anyone else had their truck self ignite?

Thank

Was the build date between October 28 and November 19 2010 where a short could develop in the BCM? Could your son or the investigator see where the source was in the engine bay? There have been a few fire discussions over the years but it's not something that happens with these trucks often and could be as unfortunate as a rodent causing a short.

Insurance will probably be interested in speaking with ford about the bill for the replacement truck.

The info I provided (based on your title) was only for the 2011MY for that date range. Unsure about a 2013.

I have not talked to him in a couple of weeks(He is Tx I in Ga).
What he told me is his home owners call Ford to tell them another one of their truck caught fire and damaged a house. Ford is now involved. They want to make sure it was not the houses fault.
