I burnt up my starter one day from this, no fire, but definitely smoke coming from the area because it got overheated. Replaced under warranty. But it still has the issue because there is not enough heat shielding around the starter. There have been others on this forum with the same issue. Hopefully this helps some in resolving the issue, but it sounds like the dealer has latched onto your air suspension as the cause, so not sure how to get around that.

If there is a TSB for this, then he stands a chance. But without something like that, and considering that there is probably enough damage from the fire that diagnosing the starter as the culprit is unlikely, the aftermarket wiring job is enough to close the warranty case.
