My girlfriend sent me the photo. Happened within the last 2 hours I believe. Most likely contained but boy there sure would have been some sad Jeep owners if they were ones that were ordered.

I’d imagine that insurance will can all of them if the product used to extinguish the fire is not paint friendly.

I'm sure. Only mentioned because of the poor customer waiting on their Jeep already.

were any of these fires related to 4xe battery issues?

Yes.

If you look closely at the side photo, you will notice the most burnt down Wrangler, third one on the top row with no top left, has a charging port next to the base of the windshield, in front of the side mirror. —I.e., it is a 4Xe.

Jeep Wrangler JL Jeep Car Hauler fire 1682616143542


At least two other JLs on that truck can be identified as 4Xes: the one in the front top and in the front lower row.

stop putting out misinformation. just because it IS a 4xE doesn't mean that's the reason for the fire.

The trailer caught on fire first, then burned the cargo.

I’m not putting any misinformation. I am simply pointing out the obvious.

Besides, how does a fire start “on the trailer” and burns down a vehicle on the TOP the much more than those at bottom...?

If the fire had truly started “on the trailer,” shouldn’t it burn from the bottom up...?

If you read what the fire department said, they said that a trailer tire caught on fire. That tire fire caused the rest. Cars burn easily, so it's not difficult to believe that the Jeep up top burned like that.
