Car was then parked, driver entered destination establishment, then questioned if car was theirs, and within 10 minutes of car being shut off, a fire engulfed the engine compartment. Fire was put out by local fire department and police report was filed. No injuries and no other by standing vehicle damage. There is a possibility that this is related to the 3. 8 supercharged grand prix & Regal recall that is online at NHTSA (08v-118). Vehicle is not repairable. Vehicle had 166,000 miles and 1500 since last oil change. Recall should be extended to include non-supercharged 3. 8l engines of same type.
