Description of the problem	I broke down on the highway with smoke coming out of the engine compartment. I had it towed to go automotive to ensure it was not because of a faulty oil change (i had had an oil change 3 days earlier). It was determined that it was not due to any part of the oil change, but that it was due to a recall ford released in april 2017. Parts have still not been received at my local dealership for repairs. The automotive shop drove the car up and down the road several times and thought it was safe to drive to ford (about 3 miles away) to discuss the recall. My mom was taking the car while my dad followed behind her. She only drove city roads, no highways. Less than a quarter mile from the ford lot, the car started to smoke little, light colored wisps. When my mom arrived at ford and parked it became heavier (but still light colored) smoke, and when she went in to get an associate they got outside and it was on fire. It took the fire department to put the flames out.
