Equipment problem

My car (the Sl55 and all sl models) has a "battery control module" (bcm) also referred to as the "battery stabilization control load module" which shows signs of imminent failure which will lead to a meltdown or fire. I inspected the module after finding that this was a common problem with these cars online. This model of car has been documented to completely catch on fire, even when parked after driving. I have pictures of the burnt board inside my bcm. I am very concerned as it could literally burn my house down. The typical warning for this issue is a red colored warning on the dash lcd display, however I didn't have that warning as my unit is apparently still functioning even though it's compromised.
