Consumer Description
LEFT REAR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY MELTED DUE TO REAR LIGHT BULB POSSIBLY SHORTING OUT OR OVER HEATING. IT CAUSED ENOUGH HEAT FOR THE BULB TO BECOME LODGED AND STUCK INTO THE ASSEMBLY DUE TO THE BULB ASSEMBLY MELTING AROUND IT. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT COULD IGNITE THE PLASTIC CAUSING A FIRE IN THE TRUNK. WE ARE ASSUMING THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING. THE BULB THAT BURNT OUT WAS BLACKEN DUE TO THE HEAT.
