What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Through degradation of the bond between the silencer pad and a sheet metal panel (quarter inner upper), the pad may fall onto the map light located in the rear seating area near the c-pillar trim panel (lh and rh). This contact could cause the pad to melt, creating a hot smell and/or smoke during long periods of illumination.

Possible consequence

Smoke inhalation could be harmful to vehicle occupants.

Remedy

Dealers will remove the insulation pad from behind both rear map lights.
