Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 RECALL because of Grass Fire

Seriously, I really wonder about the Human race when there needs to be a 'Recall' as there is the possibility that the Ford Ranger / Mazda BT-50 'might' catch fire IF the Driver drives through High Dry Long Grass because a Hot Exhaust Pipe may ignite any accumulation of collected dry grasses....wow, who would have thunked.

Whatever happened to owners and people taking responsibility for THEIR OWN ACTIONS!...

See Official PDF on the BT-50 Cleaning Procedure..

I recall Mazda RX-4's in 1975 catching fire because of owners pulling to the side of country roads in longish dry grass (middle of summer) and the 13B's Hot REAPS Exhaust Thermal Reactor was to blame, not the Driver/Owner.
