THis is a repost, also the title is a little misleading since there are no reported incidens of a trunk fire because of this.

Also, your local dealer won't be much help, there is no recall listed for our cars (other than the known V-8 cars vacuum pump issue):

Sorry didn't know it was a repost mods please delete if need be. Interesting that this article would come out and the website wouldn't list this specific recall. Thanks btw

No worries, I wasn't trying to blast you, just letting you know it's not something to stress about yet. If our cars are affected we will each get a letter.
