Don't bother investigating - just go to the dealer or call them.
A fault in the door winding gear is not a problem - any door might fail in any car. The problem is that it didn't fail-safe - a fire broke out.
Car manufacturers are very twitchy about problems of this sort just now - speak to a senior person and gently drop into the conversation something like... "I have not told anybody about this because my guess is that Renault would not want any bad publicity."
Good luck...
