x2. I was thinking the same thing.

How much was the body damaged by the fire?

This is perhaps the third or fourth n/a 3800 intake explosion I've heard about.

Here's an example:

Certain models in the 1998-2000 year range had a recall on leaky FPR's, which caused fuel to get sucked into the UIM, which could cause this very explosion:

I do not know if 2001 or GP was ever subject to the recall.
