Details
What's wrong: The hydraulic lift cylinders are attached to brackets that are welded to the liftgate. The bracket welds can fracture.
Why it matters: With a broken bracket weld, there is a potential for the liftgate bracket to gradually bend inward allowing the lift cylinder ballstud to disengage.
The fix: Dealers will install reinforcement brackets.
