What's important is that nobody got hurt.. As for the Mustang ? yes, I really feel for the owner, but the car can always be replaced/fixed and it seem to me that whoever was doing the warranty work at the dealership was more than likely responsible being as the car didn't catch fire until after the warranty work had alrerady been completed

I am sorry to see your mustang go up in flames and the question is who will be responsible. At first your insurance company will reimburse you and hopefully with car replacement. The question the insurance company will investigate is why the car went on fire, warranty work performed, and could this be a future recall. Good luck and sorry about you Mustang.
