Tandy Inc. produces electric vehicles for sale. It has just determined that there seems to be a noticeable trend of accidents when, if the car is hit at just the right angle from behind, it will cause the car's electric battery to spark and ignite a fire. Further, it appears that the automatic door locks malfunction and stay in the locked position such that if people don't escape the care before a crash, they will be locked in the car as it starts to burn quickly. There have been some serious injuries reported and some fatalities, but these cases are rare. Accidents which cause this constitute 0.3% of all incidents. No news media is aware the defect is known and all information about why the fires break out and the doors lock is secret.
