What owners wrote

Vehicle was remote started in driveway. Before the 1st cycle ran out and shut off the vehicle I opened the rear door and black smoke came out and could see smoke emitting from behind the headrests of the back seat by the slider rear window. The rear defrost had started on fire. The rear window on driver side spiderwebbed when I opened the door. Temperature outside was 7 degrees with windchill below 0. No recall listed here in us at this time I could find. Recall #192220470 in canada was listed for 2014-2018 trucks.
