I try not to make things up.
Page 86 of my owners manual. "Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The the mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions."
Not sure if what you are experiencing matches this, but check your owners manual for further clarification.

You are correct!
And, in another recent thread on this very subject, member johnwill, posted photos of the tail light assembly which show the vents/wicks which allow moisture to vent from the double walls lens.
The condensation on my truck's tail light lenses, comes and goes, depending on the atmospherics.

We have great vehicles and a great place here to talk about them --- now all we need to do is learn a little better how to support each other when we do.....

6 Fords to date
Same issue
2010 with 24k miles and had into the dealer 2 times and going for a third on Wednesday.I followed the advice about letting the truck learn you and took it in for the first oil change and they said nothing was wrong.
Flash forward 6 months I took it to a different dealer and they greased the splines on the drive shaft yoke.At 22K back in December a factory TSP was finally available.Seemed to work well at first and then it's like it loose the programming.Lost some MPG also.
I sit in traffic every afternoon and the 1-2 shift is terrible at times. Not every time.Very frustrating since some folks get on here and have no shifting issues whatsoever.Something has to be wrong and Ford is trying to fix with a reflash that will not stick.There is more to this than they are letting on.
I sure hope they can replicate the shifting when they have my truck. As for those with no shifting problems,be thankful because in traffic this will drive you nuts.
