Recent vehicle recalls linked to fire risks have drawn attention to electric cars, but industry data shows a different trend. Most recalls for fire hazards involve traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, particularly those with older models or specific engine components. Experts point to long-standing issues in combustion engines, including faulty wiring or fuel system failures, as the primary culprits behind these incidents. The focus on electric vehicles may be overshadowing a more widespread problem in conventional cars.
