Default Anyone noticed a section of the wrap around led brake light out?

I've noticed on a couple of 992s a center section of the led tail light out. Has anyone else noticed this?

I think the center section turns off when you hit the brakes, but could be wrong. Next time if you notice it’s out, see if the brakes lights are lit up.

I believe bulbs are covered under the standard warranty if they are out. If it isn’t covered I would be shocked. I know I took my Macan in for an oil change once and they replaced a bulb without me even asking. I would hope my 992 C4S gets at least the same coverage.

Someone else literally just posted about this.

My understanding of US regulations is that brake lights and required to be two separate lights (with a 3rd required, the vertical slats). It'd make sense if it was during brake application as mentioned above.

There's actually a designed behavior here. See this thread...

I posted pictures that show it both illuminated and not illuminated.
