    The product, in the report: Baja DR50 dirt bike

    My son was riding his Baja DR50 dirt bike on the sidewalk in the neighborhood. While he was seated and riding on it, it burst into flames with him on it. He hopped off the dirt bike and attempted to wheel it home while it was engulfed in flames because he was afraid it would catch someone’s lawn or car on fire if he just dropped it where it was. When he got in front of our house, he dropped it in the street. The whole dirt bike was engulfed in flames. He attempted to put the fire out with a garden hose. Then a neighbor had him use a fire extinguisher to put the fire out. We ended up calling the fire department because the dirt bike was still leaking fuel into the street and we were afraid it might re-ignite if a vehicle drove past. The dirt bike was destroyed. It burned so hot that it melted a hole in the street. We bought this Baja DR 50 at Pep Boys in Manassas, VA on November 10, 2012. The paperwork and title that came with it indicate that the dirt bike was manufactured October 10, 2010. Since we bought it brand new from Pep Boys in November, 2012, they must have had it in their inventory for a long time. Pep Boys did not warn us of any potential problems or recalls with this dirt bike. The VIN is [REDACTED]. There were many witnesses to this incident.
