2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 body & structure problems

The truck was parked in my home driveway monday afternoon. It was locked. On wednesday 2/24/21 our neighbor alerted my wife that there was smoke coming from the truck. We ran out there, but it was already heavily smoking and we could hear crackling and popping noises. Shortly after the truck was in flames. The fire department arrived, put out the flames. The fire marshal did an inspection and indicated it was likely an electrical fire near the tailgate/hitch/license plate.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after a visual inspection, he became aware that there was extensive rust throughout the sub frame of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that there was not enough damage to warrant a repair of the sub frame. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.
