Tail lights condensation issue ?

[Jerr51498]

Anyone else have trouble with condensation inside the tail lights?
I took it to my dealer and he said it was "normal"?!?!?!
I have less than 2000 miles on it.

Never had anything like that. Would not consider it normal - likely a poor gasket. My 22 Badlands has been in the Smokey Mountains. South Florida where the usual humidity is high, and everything in between. 18K miles and nothing like what you are describing,

Lol “normal” per the dealer

Everything they F$@K up is considered “normal” gotta love it.

Sure it's normal...when it's not properly sealed allowing moisture to get inside.

That is not normal and is covered by the bumper to bumper warranty as long as you didn’t remove it or make any modifications that could cause that moisture inside the tail light.

I can't speak for the tail lights, but it is not abnormal to get condensation in the headlights. In fact all headlights have tiny weep holes in them to let condensation dissipate. Tail lights are not air tight on purpose so it is not a surprise and it will go away. If you want to speed up the process hit it gently with a hair dryer.

NOT normal. Dealer rep is trying to get out of the hassle of fixing it, or is lazy, or is ignorant.

Per the manual excerpted here, this is normal, due to the vented nature of the light assemblies - they are not sealed airtight.

Numerous threads on this already, including the one I linked.

I have not had any issues with mine, poor gasket seal… Your dealer is full of SHET.
