Arson maybe

Did it happen in the middle of the night, or while dealership was still open and someone was actually fiddling with the truck?

Ford has had a few recalls about cars just starting fires. Now GM has another recall and no fix. They tell people not to park the affected cars in the garage. It's incredibly laughable that's all they can offer at this point. I will never do another GM again.
