At 5:15am, 5/29/14, my xts while parked in my residence driveway spontaneously caught fire. the fire emanated from the engine compartment and destroyed the entire front 1/2 of the vehicle. north farmingdale fd responded and extinguished the fire. no injuries were caused. the nassau county pd and nassau fire marshalls office also responded and after a visual and photo examination determined that the fire started in the area of the brake booster pump. cadillac had issued a recall for this vehicle type on 4/12/14 with the warning that a defect in the brake booster pump could cause a fire and in my case this is exactly what occurred. the oil spillage and vehicle debris also caused extensive damage to the driveway resulting in a complete replacement of the driveway. *tr
