Investigators say house fire ‘originated within’ Jeep in garage

A house fire originated from a 2022 Jeep Wrangler in a garage, according to investigators, who noted the fire started near the front passenger tire or engine compartment. The Williams family escaped due to detecting smoke, but lost belongings; Jeep had recently recalled over one million vehicles for a fire risk linked to power steering wiring. Stellantis, Jeep's parent company, stated its investigation found no manufacturing defect as the cause.
