## NHTSA's summary

Rear Combination Lamp and Related Enhancements \- Since the introduction of the BRZ, there have been a number of revisions to the rear combination lamps and their sealing gaskets \(a.k.a. packing\) to address varying customer concerns. Conditions ranging from the accumulation of water and condensation, to insect intrusion and lens / body cracking have all been addressed in previous bulletins. Recently, concerns about a cloudy appearance of the lens have created yet another bulletin. To help better organize these publications, all the related bulletins are being been condensed into this new release putting all the information in one place for easier reference.
