Taillight service bulletin

I don't believe this was posted before, but I went to the dealer a few days ago for condensation in the passenger side taillight, and was told Subaru had put out a service bulletin on this issue. So if you haven't taken a close look after a heavy rain, I'd suggest you do so!

I had mine replaced in early June. Took it in to the dealer a couple days before the TSB was released. It was the passenger side too.

There was a Scion TSB about it, so naturally it applies to the BRZ as well.

My car will likely not see rain unless an unexpected storm hits - but I'll keep an eye out for it next time I wash the car!

Is there a cutoff by VIN number where they isolated the issue?

There's a much needed TSB subforum now.

The pic sbxjap linked to was of my awful taillight condensation, dealership fixed it right up in no time. Ordering the tail lamp itself took a few days though.
