- Summary
- "tsb: combination lamp water intrusion - this bulletin provides the procedure to install additional foam gaskets in both rear tail lamps on 2014-2015my optima (qf) vehicles, when either of the lamp housings may indicate water inside. On some 2014-2015my optima (qf) vehicles, customers may complain about water droplets forming inside the rear tail lamp housing following a rainstorm or after washing their vehicle. These water droplets are more visible at night and the quantity of water present is more than just a thin film of condensation, which may not easily evaporate. This concern is caused by a gap between the tail lamp housing seal and vehicle body, which allows water to infiltrate into the tail lamp. To resolve this concern, order additional foam gaskets and install them between the left and right tail lamps and the body of the vehicle, as outlined below. To enhance customer satisfaction, this bulletin outlines the installation and repair of both sides (left and right) of the vehicle, even when only one side is affected. "
