2 Engine Cooling System problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2008

My 06 Titan 4wd had just had repairs to the transmission done 2-3 days prior to the incident. My truck had been running in my driveway with the ac and radio going for some time while I was doing various cleaning and other stuff outside. I was sitting in the drivers seat cooling off with my eyes closed when my neighbor came running out screaming that my truck was on fire. When I looked at the hood flames were visible and smoke. She called the fire dept while I used the hose to extinguish the fire the best I could until the fire dept arrived. A Nissan rep investigated the fire and said it was not the company problem. Shortly later I receive the recall concerning the ac unit and that it may lead to fire. We had no insurance at the time but it was still under warranty. Is this legal?.
