But I'd check the fuses first.

But fuses don't just blow spontaneously very often. If that is the case, he
also needs to find the cause.

Absolutely. Sometimes they do blow over time, owing to marginal draw
conditions, but even at that, I agree that he needs to determine the
ultimate cause. Just thought I'd point out what used to be the obvious, but
seems to not be so obvious to car owners anymore.

Check your outside lamps carefully. If it's just one side that's out,
check the tail lamp fuse for that side of the vehicle. If both sides are
out, check the tail lamp relay and the switch.

If the fuse is blown, finding an intermittent short may be difficult.
That circuit goes numerous places (as indicated by the lamps that are out)
both inside and outside the vehicle. If something was recently added on to
the lamps or the dash area, it's possible there's a problem with the
installation. Otherwise, it's likely that a wire was pinched at the
factory during assembly. Definitely consider taking to dealer for
warranty service.
