Honda Accord: Electrical
Affects Honda Accord · 1991 — about 1K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain Accord Wagons, an idadequately attached washer may have fallen inside the cargo area light during vehicle assembly. If this condition exists, and the light's three-position switch is in the middle position with the tailgate open, the washer could cause a short circuit within the light resulting in overheating and a possible fire. Correction: Dealers will remove the washers installed behind the cargo area light and inspect and replace any damaged light assemblies.
