It's an AP article. Dunno how the copyright thing works.
Here's the article:
SUVs Catch Fire Following Oil Changes
July 9, 2004
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Post reported more than two dozen cases of late-model Honda CR-V sport utility vehicles bursting into flames shortly after their first oil changes.
The newspaper cites records provided to the federal government by Honda.
No injuries have been reported, and many of the vehicles -- from the 2003 and 2004 model years -- were destroyed.
The Post said The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration concluded this month the incidents are the fault of dealerships and mechanics. The agency says the problem stems from improperly installed oil filters that most likely leaked oil onto the vehicles' hot exhaust systems.
