## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, water may enter and corrode the rear licence plate lamp socket causing it to operate intermittently or not at all.  The left rear tail lamp may also become inoperative.  The temperature of the licence plate lamp socket could increase to the point that it may begin to soften and melt.  If the socket assembly were to reach the point of melting, the occupants of the vehicle may notice an odor and smoke at the rear doors of the vehicle.  If this odor and smoke were ignored, the plastic could ignite and a fire could occur.  Correction:  Dealer will install a new sealed rear licence plate lamp socket assembly.
