05 safari LED brake light..

Discovered today I have moisture in 2 of the four LED brake turn signal lights. After removing the trim plastic chrome and removing the LED lights, I found where China glued the lens, the flange, had numorous cracks at the thin flange location on all the lens. Allowing moisture to get in .... has anyone else had this problem yet?? I doubt the dealers will do anything for me under warranty, because the lights still work. Or they would just put some sealant on the flange, which I can do myself. Thanks for any feedback on this..

I had the same problem with my 05 safari and dealer replaced under warranty, with no problem. Both lights were on the street side.

This problem was quite common.
The dealer will replace under warranty as, "pintoman replied".
