The Swedish manufacturer has located the issue

In Greece, a Koenigsegg Jesko caught fire and was destroyed last month. Fortunately, nobody was harmed, but it's clear that the automobile is no longer in existence. The Swedish hypercar manufacturer said on Tuesday that it had located the problem and would be replacing the owner's vehicle at no cost to them.

"The fuel tank, engine oil and gearbox oil system were still intact in the vehicle after the fire was put out, and they were not compromised or affected by the fire, nor the source of fire," CEO Christian Von Koenigsegg said in a letter posted to Instagram. "However, there was a streak of hydraulic fluid behind the car on the road. Given this we have investigated the pressurized hydraulic system, which is the only system that contains this fluid. When looking close at the car we also found that a pressurized hydraulic hose was compromised at the rear of the car. This in combination with the streak of hydraulic fluid on the road clearly indicate that this was the cause of the fire."

Koenigsegg requested that customers of Jeskos' park their vehicles right away following the incident. In order to address this, the business will examine the hydraulic lines of every supplied and manufactured Jeskos. Next week, a software upgrade that instantly cuts off the hydraulic system in the event that the vehicle senses a leak is also planned.
