What owners wrote
Drove for about 17 miles and parked at a store. Within 5 minutes of parking the truck, white smoke could be seen coming from the hood on the passenger side. As I approached the truck flames came out from under the hood in the same area. Grabbed a fire extinguisher and returned within one minute to find entire engine compartment in flames. Unable to open the hood so the fire extinguisher was not much good. Fire department arrived within 5 minutes but it was too late.
Water in fuel light comes on for no reason, known defect with wiring/sensor. Could leave you disabled on roadway. Engine warranty requires you to stop and have it checked or could void warranty. They have service bulletins. Needs to be a full recall for the defective parts
