WATCH: Harrowing footage emerges of Reshall Jimmy's final moments as his Ford Kuga burns

Video footage of 33-year-old Reshall Jimmy's Ford Kuga burning has emerged for the first time.

The harrowing cellphone footage, which was taken by passersby, was filmed after his vehicle, a 2014 1.6l EcoBoost Kuga was already burning on the night of 15 December 2015.

Jimmy died in the blaze.

The footage comes a day after Ford announced a safety recall of the same model in which Jimmy died in. The vehicles to be recalled also include those built between 2012 and 2014.

• Ford accused of ‘shopping’ for forensic reports after fatal Kuga fireIn a damning accusation‚ forensic investigator David Klatzow has accused Ford of “shopping” for forensic reports to prove its case in the death of Reshall Jimmy. 

Passersby can be heard screaming for help as others frantically phone the police and flag down motorists. From the footage, it is clear the fire has engulfed the front inside part of Jimmy's car.

While police, insurance and private fire and forensic investigators say the fire started from an electrical fault behind the dashboard on the front passenger side of the vehicle, Ford, through its investigators, maintains the fire started at the rear of the car. Ford has, to date, been unable to say what started the fire.

What the footage clearly shows as the recording begins is the car's reverse lights coming on. No flames can be seen at the back of the car as it is reversed briefly towards those who are filming.

• Almost 80% of people polled say they will not buy a FordAlmost 80% of people who voted in an online poll conducted by TimesLIVE on Tuesday said they would not buy a Ford if they were in the market for a new car. 

The car's brakelights light up with people screaming that there is someone in the car. The car appears to move forward before eventually coming to a complete stop as the flames spread.
