Description of the problem	After going through a car wash water started pouring out of my interior map lights (dome lights). A quick search online for jeep water leak dome lights resulted in 760,000 matches. There are thousands of blogs/websites/forums all referring to this same error. After heavy rains or water exposure (e. G. Car wash) the water leaks through the interior dome and map lights. Many sites indicate the manufacturers reluctance to make the repairs and treat the situation as though they have no prior indication of problems. With thousands of websites and so many people reporting the dealers are reluctant to repair this obvious design flaw, i am left wondering how many many people have to report this water leak to the manufacturer before something is done to correct it (voluntary or mandatory recall). Fortunately i am still under warranty but i am not looking forward to arguing with the dealer over something that is clearly a known issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
