The risk
The product poses a risk of fire because due to the inappropriate material of the inner quarter trims, if the trims receive water such as rain, rainy trims may cause the electric terminals of luggage room lamp to be rusted gradually. After certain period of usage, the above condition may cause electrical problem such as the open-circuit, short-circuit, melting, etc. In the worst case, the lamp itself may be ignited, when somebody opens the back door (tail gate).
Product: The recall concerns vehicles produced from the start of mass production to 30 September 2007, with VIN from TSMMZ***S00100001 to TSMMZ***S00499999.
