Description of the problem	My new 2013 honda fit caught fire while parked. I bought a new 2013 honda fit on august 10, 2013. On august 23rd the car would not start, needing a jump start from a mechanic. I drove the car to dch honda in oxnard. The mileage on the odometer at the service center was 491 miles. The car was tested and no problem was found and i drove the car back home. The service report says: 'customer states it had to be jumpstarted, advise. Cnd inspected system. Unable to verify customers concern at this time. Battery checks out okay at this time.. Was inspected/tested 3 times..' on january 17th when i opened the two rear windows using the drivers seat switch, they went down about 3/4 of the way and were stuck there. I tried several times but they remained stuck. They did go back up to the closed position, but not down all the way. Also the driver's side front window was erratic. Sometimes going up and down and sometimes sticking. I made an appointment from my computer asking for an appointment for electrical problems with the windows and took the first appointment available which was for friday january 24, at 1pm. On the afternoon of january 20th my car caught on fire. The car was parked outside, all the windows rolled with no one in it. The car had 1300 miles on the odometer. I was inside my home at the time and had not been outside that day and the car had not been driven. I notified my insurance company and called dch honda who instructed me to have the car towed to their service center which i did. The car has been at the honda dealership since january 20 and is still there. I have been told by the dch service manager that honda company does not find that the fire was caused by electrical problems. I have been told that there has been an investigation of the fire and i have asked for a copy but they haven't sent it to me.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
