I am a member of the above Auto-Fires mailing list, it is run through
the NHTSA website. This is an email forum geared specifically towards
auto fires. If you conduct automobile fire investigations it can be a
good source of information. People from all over write in about cases
they are working on and share general information about fires/failures
that they are observing.
A couple of subject examples are:
Engine compartment fire - 2000 Pontiac, V6, Supercharged - Information
needed.
Dash fires on 2003-2006 GM Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban
Cadillac CTS Fires
...And of course - Ford Cruise Control recalls - a list of all 7
recalls was recently sent out, I'll try and post those .pdf's.

The subject line has the prefix [auto-fires] in it, I have set up a
separate folder in Outlook so all emails from this forum go right in to
it. That way I can go through them when ever and save the ones I want
within that file.

If you would like to sign up, you can go to:

If you sign up and do not like it, it is also easy to unsubscribe.
