Houston man's pickup burns half-hour after he gets GM recall notice
Houston wrestling coach Allen Paul said he received a recall notice on his 2014 Chevy Silverado just 30 minutes before his truck burst into flames.
Paul said his truck slowed down and all of the dash interior lights came on as he was driving along Richmond around 7 p.m. Tuesday. It was then that he noticed a fireball under the hood.
Paul bolted from the cab and within 30 seconds he said the truck’s front end was engulfed in flames.
Late last week, General Motors issued around 370,000 recall letters for 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks. A software malfunction makes an idling truck heat up to levels that can start a fast-moving fire, melting plastic parts and leading to total destruction of the vehicle, according to GM.
