Official summary

Infiniti: exterior lamp fogging. Water in the exterior lamps. This is generally not due to a defect. All current exterior lamp assemblies are vented to the atmosphere (not sealed). Moisture in the air sometimes travels into and out of the lamp assembly through these vents. Necessary to allow for expansion and contraction of air from temperature variations (warmer or colder) without damage to the lamp. Certain environmental conditions may cause moisture to condense. Fogging/cloudiness should disappear over time when the lamp is in a dry environment. *pe updated 7/28/10. *pe updated 12/9/13. *pe

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
