Their Nissan SUV was parked in the driveway. Then it caught fire and exploded

In the early morning, a car fire occurred outside a home in Bethesda, Maryland. The car, a 2015 Nissan Murano, was parked in the driveway when the owner was awakened by the sound of explosions. The cause of the fire is still unknown and is being investigated by Nissan and the National Highway Traffic Administration. The Murano had previously been recalled in 2016 and 2019 due to a fire risk, but the owners claimed to have had the necessary repairs done. The fire damaged the garage door and a neighboring car. Vehicle fires are not uncommon, with thousands occurring in the United States each year, resulting in civilian deaths.
