Thanks Jasper & FishFingers. Its seems a little inconsistent. Will (hopefully) sort with brake recall.

Guys, I need your help here...
I have the same issue, exactly like the pictures posted above. Green mold, rear light etc... my dealer just told me that it's NOT covered by the warranty.
I live in Belgium, would that make a difference ? I mean how come it's covered under warranty in some countries and not here? Or is my dealer messing with me. I'm kinda pissed... a 150k car with mold after 1,5year. My parent's Citroen is 10years old and no mold....

What would you do?

I had tail lights replaced under warranty on my TCT TS. Same issue. Well, with brand new lights in it is back again (moist comes in, eventually leading to mould). The part is just faulty. No solution yet. I may bring it up another time in due time. I have seen even newer Taycans with the same issues.
Just noticed you were also in Belgium. Where is your dealer located? Mine in Brussels just told me it was not under warranty ?!

I have the same, but it looks like it is just on the outer edge and not inside the light unit. So it looks the seal is actually a bit into the unit and not on the very edge if that makes sense.

Replacement is a fools errant and wastefull as it will inevitably come back (quickly) if that is indeed the case. An easy way to clean it would be great but I cant think of something.

@Jasper4S cleaning with compressed air did clean it? Weird to advice against pressure washer to then blast with compressed air?

I am in the Netherlands but went to a dealer in Germany where I bought my first Porsche. I wanted them to replace as it was quite bad and they did. With a bit of moist they dont.
