The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation into the cause of eight reported engine fires in the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute.

The model years being investigate are from 2001 to 2003 however the Mercury Mariner platform-sharer is not part of the investigation as it began its run in 2005.

There are two other cases that are under the microscope that involve "fire-related phenomena" from sparks and melted electrical components. The suspected culprit at this time is the ABS module which underwent a recall in the past.

More information to follow when we get it.
