Details

What's wrong: A washer in the cargo area light may not be properly attached, and may have fallen in the cargo light during assembly. If this occurred, and the three position light switch is in the middle position, and the tailgate is open, the washer can cause a short circuit in the light.

Why it matters: The light short circuit could cause the switch tooverheat and result in a cargo compartment fire.

The fix: Remove the washers behind the cargo area light and replace any damaged light assemblies.
