DESCRIPTION

Mazda6





On some vehicles, moisture, fogging or water droplets may be visible on the outer edges of the rear taillight lenses after washing the vehicle or driving it in the rain.

Mazda3





DO NOT perform any parts replacement for this concern. Inform the customer that the water droplets will dry and disappear. The moisture is outside of the sealing area and NOT inside the taillight assembly. Taillight bulbs are not exposed to this moisture and their function will not be affected.

NOTE:
If a taillight assembly is replaced for one of these reasons, the warranty claim will be denied or debited.
