Sorry to hear about your car fire problem.
A couple of questions for you. When did you take delivery of the car and when did you take the car in for the clutch replacement recall (miles on the car at repair)? Did you try the launch control feature on your car before you took it in and did it work?
If you go to the NHTSA website and search the recall on this clutch, you can view/print the repair instructions for this procedure. I seem to remember when I was reading it there was a caution to the mechanic to not force some part on as if they did, it would damage the driveshaft, necessitating REPLACEMENT of the drive shaft.
If your dealer's service dept made a boo boo and they didn't replace the drive shaft (if they damaged it), maybe that contributed to the fire.
I know from sore experience (27 days and twice in the shop for this procedure) that this was NOT an easy repair/replacement to perform outside the factory.
I am guessing your insurance company will be honoring your claim on the car, but if I were you, I would ask them to have an automotive engineer look into the cause of the fire (they will spend that $$ if they think they can get the $$ they will pay off on the car back).
I would strongly suggest you call AoA customer relations and complain, then follow it up with a certified letter once they give you a customer #. Expect it to take a few letters, and from my experience they will NOT put anything in writing.
Seems to me they owe you a new car.
Let me know how you are doing dealing with AoA. I am seriously thinking about legal intervention in my case.
Regards,
Buddy
