Re: Ignition Key Gets Hot
Hi,
I don't think so. Better check with dealer and put it on record.
Sounds like there is poor connection inside the switch assembly
causing the heat. It could be even fire hazard if it really gets
that hot. Older CRV has recall on siwtch wiring harness for intermittent
connection.(engine cuts out unexpectedly)

Apparently it is. Apparently it has to do with the solenoid that locks
the steering wheel when the igntion is off. When the ignition is on,
current goes through this solenoid to unlock the wheel.
And solenoids get hot.
Your Honda dealer will have a bulletin on this, stating that it's
absolutely normal.
