# Service bulletin SB\-19\-11\-001

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10153419
- Published by NHTSA: 2019\-02\-19
- Manufacturer's number: SB\-19\-11\-001
- Manufacturer's date: 2019\-01\-03
- NHTSA component: STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

## NHTSA's summary

On certain Model S vehicles, the liftgate has plugs that do not allow water to drain, causing condensation to build up inside the tail light assembly. Tail light functionality is not affected. The retrofit of updated drain\-type liftgate plugs allows water to escape the liftgate and keep the tail lights dry.
