Details

What's wrong: Manufacturing errors by the supplier of the liftgate latch mechanism may cause the secondary portion of the liftgate latch not to function. If the latch is not in the primary latch position, the liftgate could open without operator action.

Why it matters: If the liftgate were to open during vehcile operation,passengers or cargo could fall from the open liftgate.

The fix: Replace malfunctioning liftgate latches.
