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.
