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)
