It seems with most vehicle makes that have electrical fire issues (just google search car fire and you won't see one more than another, they are all just as vulnerable) are likely caused by the electronics that produce heat as a byproduct. Such as a failing/failed FSR right by the glovebox or the AUX fan in front the radiator/condensor/ etc.

Probably the most common cause of fire I've personally seen in the last 5 years or so at the dealer has been the headlights. What happened in these cases are the customers had a headlight go out and had the guy behind the counter at autozone put it in for them, and it wasn't properly installed and melted the plastic to combustion.
