It's difficult to go back and put on the detective hat again but last I read or recall it was dealer incompetency not tightening a cap or some shit, thus fluid eventually spilling and igniting the engine bay. There are tens of thousands of these cars sold and on the road, and people actually think 2 or 3 fires is more indicative than all the other cars NOT set on fire. Here's how it works, the very few owners who had their car "catch fire" want to make a stink on reddit to threaten Toyota PR into giving in. Then the journos report on these reddit threads because they know this car is a click engagement goldmine (for better or worse). Then everyone else on the internet will remember this car for these headlines and nothing else. This car may have weak points, as with any car, but catching fire is not one of them.
