Mazda and Ford Fires Probed

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation of Fords and Mazdas from the 2001 through 2003 model years. There have been 8 fires reported in these vehicles, as well as two other incidents.

The vehicles being investigated are the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. Thus far, the Escape, rather than its Tribute twin, have had the major problems reported. The result of the investigation could result in a recall or be found to be isolated coincidences.
