The issue

THE DRIVER POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH BASE MAY SEPARATE FROM THE ESCUTCHEON DURING ACTUATION EXPOSING THE B(PLUS) TERMINAL. IF THE B(PLUS) TERMINAL CONTACTS THE STEEL REMOTE MIRROR CABLE, A HIGH RESISTANCE SHORT CAN OCCUR WITHOUT BLOWING THE FUSE. THIS SHORT MAY CAUSE THE CABLE TO OVERHEAT AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Description (français)

La base de l'interrupteur de verrouillage des portes peut se séparer du dessus et la borne B (positive) se trouvera alors exposée. Si la borne entre en contact avec le câble de télécommande du rétroviseur, un court-circuit peut se produire sans toutefois faire griller le fusible. La forte résistance attribuable au court-circuit peut faire surchauffer le câble au point de provoquer un incendie.
