Would this be a warranty job?

Just hit 7k today and when I closed the hatch I noticed the moisture inside the taillight on the clear reverse part of the light. Should I take this to the dealer?

Sorry, 'knock it back' is Aussie slang

which in this case means they would decline to fix it under warranty. But i believe it's a warranty issue

Knock it back. Just learned something new today. English isn't what it seems to be

Sorry to say, this most likely isn't a warranty issue. It happens in a lot of cars, actually.

I would take it back to the dealer. it could be cracked.

regardless of it saying it in the manual or not (haven't checked ours) - moisture should NOT collect in a normal headlight or tail light. It is not normal and indicates a poor seal between the lens and the light body. As said, it could be a crack also. When it happens, the moisture will stay 99% of the time, particularly in colder climates. Warranty!
