Heat Glow On Top

When looking at range top noticed "when only the left small burner is glowing, there is a glow pattern visible along the wiring from the burner all the way back to (and past ) the control panel". It actually is heating up the center of the cooking surface. Is this a concern, and is there a recall on this?
