AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

SITUATION:

LOWER TAILGATE DOES NOT RELEASE

A customer may complain that the lower tailgate latch does not release when the release button is pressed. This condition is likely the result of incorrect
center latch alignment.

RESOLUTION:

ADJUST TAILGATE LATCH

Incorrect setting of the tailgate center latch can be corrected to ensure simultaneous release of both lower tailgate latches by following the procedure
outlined below. Correct alignment and proper tightening of the center latch are both critical to proper tailgate release.
