## Narrative
Warning message of 4 Wheel drive overheating and disengaging.  a few minutes later a loud pop occurred, and flames overtook the engine and drive train.  I pulled off the road and the fire department came and put out the fire.  It is a total loss.  I believe that this is a safety recall but I was never notified of any repairs needed.
