Kia had a major recall fairly recently for this too. I think the fix was adding a single fuse but they recommended parking outside until then.

A lot of EVs have batteries under the car which I think was the point. Though I can't see it being a huge issue or I would've heard a lot of stories of people being cooked by now.
I've owned multiple cars which have had some kind of recall which resulted in a fire risk. Zero of them have been EVs.
Sure, those aren't all starting in the passenger compartment, but a lot of these battery fires aren't always starting in the passenger compartment either.
