I own a 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I received a recall notice for the blower in September of 2022 said it could catch fire but it’s ok to drive it no replacement part yet. I received a second recall notice the 18 of august 2023 saying they have the part. I had an apt to get replaced in a week. 2 days later going to church It started to smoke so parked in back parking lot and started fire burning my whole car up it’s totally gone. I need to know if I have a claim or do I accept the insurance offer which is low. Please someone contact me about this. Thank you Korin
