| Description of the problem | Electrical component mounted overhead in the cab hidden by the headliner is running so hot it has blistered exterior paint above it. Over time the affected area is now about one square foot and is immediately obvious because of paint loss on top of cab just behind top of windshield. We are concerned that this may represent a potential fire hazard. |
