Default Condensation in tail lights

I bought a 2019 Mazda 3 in August 2019. It now has 4,000 miles on it. I am getting condensation in three of my four tail lights when the temperature drops to around 20 degrees. My dealer says that the condition is normal, even thought he never saw it before. Anybody else have this problem?

There was a notification issued in my market saying condensation is now normal. Not ideal. Try complaining direct to Mazda USA.

I just contacted Mazda USA Customer Service. They never heard of my problem. They are going to contact my dealership.

I looked for any current TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins ) and found nothing reported? To be sure TSBs are not definitive nor are they always up to date.

I have also replaced two of my 2018 tail lights due to breakage mishap removing them. The OEM original never had condensation and the one oem and one aftermarket tail light since last year in April have no issues either.
