You know, my son's got this 2021 Kia Forte, and we just noticed something weird the other day. his turn signal taillight housing has water in it! It's definitely not supposed to look like a fishbowl, right?

His car's only got about 50,000 miles on it, so it feels a bit early for something like this. We're trying to figure out what's going on.
Has anyone else with a Forte (or any car, really) had this happen to their taillights?
What did you do to fix it? We're wondering if it's just a simple gasket problem or something more complicated.
Any advice on how to tackle this would be a huge help!
 
Maybe you put too much blinker fluid? JK

If I remember correctly, the Forte came with a 5 year or 60k mile warranty, meaning you should go straight to the dealer. I'm guessing it's a seal issue, but if it's under warranty it's not something you should be bothering yourself with.
 
Nope, not normal. Check the seals and drainage holes first, and if the gasket's damaged, swapping it out usually does the trick. You'll want to fix it soon before it causes any electrical problems.

Blinker Fluid? You mean this stuff? It always pays to use top quality fluids!
