ABOUT 10-15 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE CONSUMER HEARD A POP AND THOUGHT HE HAD ANOTHER FLAT. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SAW SMOKE AND FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL CASE. THE CONSUMER RAN A SAFE DISTANCE AND WATCH THE VEHICLE BURN BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED SHORTLY AFTER AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES.
