UPDATE: Three Dodge Demons Burn Down in Delivery Truck, Electrical Issue Rumored

The images show that one of the cars has been entirely consumed by fire, while the other two also appear to have been seriously affected.

We came across the pics on the hellcat forums, with the only positive side of the story being that the driver of the delivery truck wasn't hurt.

Speaking of which, the truck, whose trailer has been severely damaged, appears to belong to Reliable Carriers, Inc, with forum chat mentioning that the fire had taken place in Michigan.

As indicated by a Facebook conversation screenshot (you'll find this in the gallery above), a certain Adam Harrod, who claimed to work for the said transport company, stated that an electric issue with one of the cars started the fire, explaining that Dodge would be covering the costs of the trailer and the downtime.

However, an account appearing to belong to the said company took to the forums to dismiss the info, but without shedding any further light on the matter.

"Reliable Carriers, Inc. would like to clarify that “Adam Harrod” is not employed at our company, nor has he ever been previously employed by us. The individual has been contacted by our attorneys. We have no other comments on the situation at this time. Thank you for your understanding," the said account's post read.

Of course, we are now left with plenty of questions. First of all, with the happening having taken place yesterday, October 31st, this could be a well-Photoshopped Halloween prank.

Secondly, everybody wants to know whether the flame-consumed 840 hp Challengers were actually customer cars - does this mean that 0.1 percent of the U.S.-destined Demon production is now out?

As for the source of the fire, we could be looking at an isolated problem, but this could also be an issue that would require Dodge to inspect other cars.

We've reached out to the automotive producer in search of some answers so we'll keep you posted.

Update1:Demon221, a member of the said forum, who claims to be the owner of one three affected cars (we're looking at one of the two Redline Red cars, while the third was a yellow machine), states that he had received a call from none other than Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis.

"Alright I have a good story about the demon fire. I just got a call from Tim Kuniskis, and it was not to tell me how great my red demon looked. My car #221 is one of the two redline cars in the pictures. Burnt to a crisp!! Totally destroyed!!! My demon was built on Friday the 13th and burnt up on Halloween. He called to let me know the 3 cars that went up in flames are going to be quickly rebuilt. He also informed me that the once a VIN number is created it can not be duplicated again. The good news is the cars that burnt are all getting lower VIP numbers. My new number is #102. I actually think this turned out to be a great story! I was shaking when I got off the phone with him but I am really excited about the story I can tell with my demon. Tim also wanted me to let everyone know the fire was caused by the car transporter not the cars. He assured me there are no problems with the demons fuel system and asked if I would pass that info on," the man explains in a forum post.

While it sounds unusual for a CEO to personally call the owners of the cars that were destroyed in the fire, allpar reports that "an FCA representative confirmed that he [Kuniskis] did indeed contact each of the buyers of these three Demons with the bad news,"

If this piece of news does turn out to be true, we'll tip our helmets to Fiat Chrysler and Tim Kuniskis for the uber-effective approach. Meanwhile, it looks like the thread mentioned in the link above was removed, possibly due to suspicion on this being fake news.

Update2:Until we get our hands on more clues, a video of the fire has surfaced online, but the poor quality of the footage means we still have to take the whole tale with a grain of salt.
