Powerboost onboard power system fire

I recently bought a 2025 king ranch with the powerboost. Was going on vacation and noticed I had smoke coming out the back end of the truck, pulled over opened up bed cover and back end of truck was engulfed in flames. It was evident that this fire was somehow started by something faulty with the power system. Wondering if anybody has had any issues with this system?

welcome to FTE

sorry it's something new to many of us, best to start with calling ford directly right after you call your insurance company .
