The fire department extinguished the fire and stated that it originated under the hood. The vehicle is currently parked in the contact's driveway. Through research, he discovered a recall for that year, make, and model vehicle for the same vehicle speed control failure. He also found a recall on the parking brake cable wiring to the fuel line. The manufacturer stated that his VIN was not included in either recall; therefore, they were not responsible for the fire. The recall numbers were unknown.
