Third Brake Light Recall

[Series6]

Anyone know what needs to be done for this? Local dealer has been calling me to get my ‘17 in for possible leakage and light needs to be removed and resealed under warranty. Writer told me I’d have to remove my shell or they’d charge $130 an hour to remove and reinstall it.

Makes sense to me. They have to have room to work and remove the light assembly from the back. The cap would restrict their their working space.

Copy that but how is that light attached? Bolt in? Snap in?

Couple screws.

Couple screws from the inside. Dumbest setup I've ever seen.

So the headliner needs to come down?

Maybe easier to seal it yourself

Yes it does.

Just for the record I’m not opposed to letting the dealer do it. It’s not a case of saving a few dollars. My issue is the shell seals so well (and there are no leaks) I’m afraid if they break the seal, I’ll get leaks in the bed.

As of this moment I am not showing any leaks in the cab.

Tough call
