TYLER, TX (KLTV)- A fire that broke out in an East Texan's truck while it was sitting in the driveway Wednesday may have been related to a recall issued nearly a decade ago.

The 1999 Ford F-150 spontaneously caught on fire while parked at the Tyler home. The residents were not home.

"It made like a big whoosh noise, you could hear it," said neighbor Brian Lacy. "If you have ever thrown gasoline on a fire and heard it go up, that's what it sounded like."

Lacy was home when he saw his neighbor and longtime friend's truck go up in flames.

"I ran over and I grabbed the hose that was in the back yard and I started spraying," he said.

Bronkell Allen bought the used truck just eight months ago.

"It's very shocking," Allen said. "Very shocking, unbelievable."

Allen paid $1900 in cash for the truck and only had liability insurance. Now it's totaled, melted all the way from its engine through its passenger cab.
