It would and it was an extremely rare fault that would require a few things to be wrong at the same time. You would need to have the faulty harness that would leave the CC wire hot if left on when the vehicle was shut off. Then you would need to have a leaky master cylinder or brake fluid reservoir, leak on the wire and remove the insulation and then rest on something that would catch on fire.
It was kind of a perfect storm fault, I remember hearing it happened only once.
I witnessed this with a Crown Vic.
Those were notorious about catching in fire when parked.
I believe the late 90s early 2000s models were prone to this...

Apparently oil would leak from the engine, onto the harness and catch fire.
Instead of fixing the oil leak....GMC just reinforced the harness with extra plastic. Yay!
i remember one time, theres this hidden street people race on here in chicago called doty road, the police came to break it up so every1 gets in their car and takes off, so i jump in my mustang and the floor mat slid under the brake and clutch, i remember just slamming the pedals to the floor to get out of there, caught up in the rush, lol
I remember a early 90's Land Rover came in the shop one day and somehow the damn thing was pouring oil "INTO" the manifolds.... meaning not only was it burning massive amounts of oil but it was making a smoke screen wherever it went and thick oil smoke was just pouring out of the tailpipe... and the multiple holes in the exhaust near the mid pipe
that was pretty sweet, the idiot guy I work with tried pulling it into the shop and befre I could yell at him the entire shop was filled with smoke
not a recall, but it still was pretty fun... well, at least we had fun with it XD
