Leaking Brake Light Housing

[NJBronco]

Just hit 2k miles but first noticed it under 1k miles. I thought it was just some condensation but started noticing it bead up. I started noticing it was happening with low to severe rain when the leak occurs. Dropped into my dealer and they ordered the parts to fix it. Simple issue with a simple fix.

For anyone else that it happens to, what is the part and fix?

I saw this on the second day I brought it, it looks like the seal it's located more on the middle instead on the edge so anything below it may look like it's leaking, I guess bad Ford design.
The black line where I think the seal is.

You are so right....... the dealer ordered a replacement part but I guess this will always happen because of design.

Looks like it’s outside the seal, does it leak into the cabin area? May just be condensation from temperature changes. I have to dry that area a few times after I wash mine, it holds water.

Hi there! Can you send us a message with your VIN and Ford dealership name? I’ll look into this on my end. Thanks!

I have this same issue, dealer changed the rear break light and it’s leaking again. It leaks inside the vehicle once water builds up enough in the metal door until it reaches its first open hole. I took the back hatch upper panel off to watch it. It’s going back to dealer again tomorrow to see why they can get it fixed. It’s a 2021 Big Bend model. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Overall, I am happy with my dealer but shocked about the result I received. Iverall they fixed and address the problem but not without Ford Brand in Question.

The past few days in the NYC area have been gloomy and wet, and I happened to notice that my center break light has a similar condition as @NJBronco . The inside perimeter between the setback gasket and the outside edge is filled with water and/or condensation, along with a significant amount of dirt or sediment accumulation in some areas.

To address this issue, I decided to pour some water over the top end of the Dole light and observed the pools and condensation inside flow and slosh around. Unfortunately, this did not dislodge the dirt accumulation, and there is still plenty of water trapped in that void. I am concerned about what might happen next time the temperature drops below freezing and how the dirt will ever get out without removing the entire enclosure.

I am wondering if anyone or @Ford Motor Company has any definitive fixes to report since the last post. It seems like all the dealership will do is replace the same part, which will eventually have the same issues. Any thoughts or updates would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
