Axle.
Is that all models or just the HOT Hatch?
Chinese electric vehicles also feature well in China with their batteries exploding. Not sure of any here though.
Also, some Ford models have been notorious for melting themselves. Mostly USA.

A few years ago it was Jeeps that were catching fire.

These days it seems that just about all the car brands are having massive numbers of cars being recalled and across multiple models.

Automobile manufacturers regularly issue recalls to address potential safety concerns, including fire risks. These recalls are typically conducted in cooperation with government regulatory agencies, such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and are aimed at addressing any identified safety issues promptly. fnaf games

What issues? You have not given any links to the problems. Without those, your thread is pretty useless.

When you have news reports or TV reports and word of mouth events relayed, why does the OP have to provide links? Common awareness of motoring public ensure at least something is known about the issues.
Perhaps he is bringing it to our attention and providing a refresh.
No fires, but in my area, recently I have seen a number of very new Kia and Hyundai vehicles stopped on roadside and then on tray's of recovery trucks. They are not hauled onto trays if there isn't a problem. Could be some truth in it, I think.

Re Po? yes that's it!

Axle.
There are about 70 petrol vehicle fires per year in Straya, Now, some fires are electric vehicle based as well.
We are entering a danger period, pushed by Bowen the Magnificent, where the fires, bad as they are with petrol, become much worse when it is an electric vehicle with a lithium battery involved. You simply cannot put out the fire!
A disabled electric MG, (used to be Morris Garage, now Manchurian Garage as Xi Jinping now owns it), caught fire in a rental vehicle yard of Mascot airport. The damage battery was left partially removed from the vehicle and out in the weather. Water got into it and it caught fire, great management by the rental company. It burned the MG and 5 other cars before it stopped burning. However, the danger was the fact that it was only 50 metres, yes right next door, from the Mascot control tower controlling ALL planes near Sydney. If toxic gas was ingested into the Tower aircon, all folk inside would have been affected/disabled at best and suddenly all aircraft in the sky on their own with no safety guidance. Just the fires are only part of the issue.

Australian has a lot to learn about new systems and their hidden dangers. No One is providing safety management to the pubic for such events, ie, what to do, where to go. Absolute denial and total ignorance by those pushing electric everything. No, I am not against some electric powered systems. At the moment, fire management for an electric vehicle is: LET IT BURN UNTIL IT STOPS. Nothing else is possible, unlike petrol fires.

A component of the 50MW battery at Bouldercombe caught fire recently, and Tesla's advice to the firies was exactly that - let it burn.
