What is wrong

THE STEPWELL LIGHTS LOCATED AT THE CURBSIDE FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR AND THE REAR EXIT DOOR MAY GENERATE EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS HEAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO THE PROTRUDING SHIELD LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER ENTRANCE AND EXIT AREA.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL PLASTIC COVERSHIELD OVER THE EXISTING SHIELD TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
