Ford had some fire-related recalls recently[1]. Interestingly one of them was for hybrids, but not due to the battery. It was due to the heat shielding placement and that there was a decent chance of fire in the event of an engine failure from combustible fluids hitting hot parts. Also I wouldn't say the car being in motion is a convenient time to have a fire. You're often not just standing there with a fire extinguisher handy. 1. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-issues-new-fire-risk-recall-expands-earlier-call-back-2022-07-08/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-i...
