“Started vehicle snowy day turned on the defroster - smoke started coming in through heating and defrost vents, smelled like pine needles. Turned car off smoke proceeded to get worse - called fire dept. Suv was then on fire, SUV is completely totaled - from reading other incidents I really think this a fault where debris gets in the fan compartment and catches on fire - some type of notice should be sent to people with Navajo mazdas and ford rangers/explorers that have this type of fan compartment.”
