Macan Passenger Taillight Malfunction
I just noticed that the passenger side brake light doesn't go on when pressing the brake. Oddly, the same set of lights do work when using the turn indicator. It's the same LEDs, so obviously the individual bulbs aren't burned out. I looked online and found a Macan Forum thread with a bunch of cars with the same problem, but no one reported a solution. My dealer service guy had never heard about the issue. Any insight from the RL crew? Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue shortly after taking delivery of my CPO 2015 Macan in 2017. I was getting an error message on
the dash and the light was working fine. Replaced under CPO. A month or two later the same issue occurred on the
other side with the same resolution.
The fix was replacement. I'm thinking there may have been a "bad batch" of these taillamp assemblies.
