Alternator/generator/regulator problem #1

Our customers 1997 Mercury Villager van caught fire while driving in the city. Wonder if this could be related to the Nissan maxima recall for alternator fires? I have seen 3 maxima alternators burn and we are not even a Nissan dealer.

Ignition Switch problem #2

I am replacing my ignition switch for the second time in the last 3 months.
