[V8] Bose rear amps catch fire?

[Pat Gillen]

Thanks Kneale.  Looks like I'll pull my front and rear part numbers and see
if the dealer will know if my amps are part of the batch with the bad caps.
As my "radio" was changed twice, I don't know if the VIN number works but
I'll give it a try too and post any results including part numbers (this may
take a few days).
