    OP has a double cab by virtue of having BSM. Access cabs carry over the 3rd brake light design from 2nd gens and don't have the leakage issue.

    That’s a nice resource, but there’s a basic owner misunderstanding about recalls versus TSBs, and it keeps popping up in threads over and over.

    Call in an airstrike. It's the only way to be sure:

    If it’s only a measly $70, why does the dealer want $900 to fix it? And it’s soo easy to fix, the labor time should be minimal. No pitchforks here, just saying that there’s a huge disconnect.
    And the “no one I know” is bunk. Your entire world doesn’t encompass everyone else’s world. It’s like saying “no one I know has free healthcare, therefore it doesn’t exist.” Maybe you need to get out more often?

    An option on this model, standard safety feature on others. And you paid a premium for it. You should have a reasonable expectation that it lasts for more than two years. If not, then it needs to be re-engineered.

    Sounds like the 3rd gen is a step backwards in this regard.

    3rd brake light design is beyond stupid. Take down headliner to access light bulb . Who designed that ? When mine goes out I'm not paying $900 for a bulb

    It's not.

    You should go to the NTSB and research what constitutes a recall and why many things are not recall worthy.

    A local dealer texted my yesterday to let me know I hadn’t had my 2017 checked for the third brake light recall. They called it “Center High-mounted stop lamp water leak.”

    I scheduled an appointment and they are working on it now. Supposed to be doing an “inspection” of the issue first and say it takes 4 hours for that. Here’s to hoping they actually fix it.

    Ah, no. I shattered my with a nose of my canoe, long story but it was fucked...

    ~$300 for the local dealer to do it and I thought that was steep. Overall, you need a new dealer casue they have you tagged as a sucker, $900 :rolleyes:
