Isn't this the one that also catches fire and has resulted in peoples cars burning out?

Yes. I'm fairly sure there is a thread about this being a serious fire risk. I'll see if I can find it.

Correct, it can in some instances cause fires. You need to split that plug by the rad and check it for corrosion. If there is any it can be cleaned up with some lighter gas. , clean up all the pins and put the plug back together then cover it in white grease to prevent water ingress.
