As I parked the vehicle in the garage, I noticed smoke coming from under the hood. I exited the vehicle and observed flames in the upper part of the left front wheel well. I put out the fire but was unable to open the hood. The vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was determined the fire had started in the relay/fuse box located in the left rear of the engine compartment. I asked both the dealership and my insurance company (united services automobile association), if a recall or technical service bulletin and been issued by Ford concerning this type of incident. I have not received a reply from either.
