Description of the problem	F150 with electronic tailgate release will randomly unlock and drop open. This is happening at least 50% of the times i use my truck. I've heard the tailgate release be activated with my fob key setting on the dash board, no one touching it. I took it to the dealer today, 1/10/2020, and the service rep heard it unlock the tailgate while he was holding the key fob. He indicated there is a recall; however, it is not for f150's.. Only f250-450's. What really scares me there is no warning or notifications the tailgate has dropped down and is now open. I only know when i stop and see it down or the loud steady warning when i put the truck in reverse. So far nothing has fallen out but this is clearly unsafe and should be recalled/repaired asap by ford. This has occurred when operating on both city roads and highways, although, i'm not sure exactly when it is unlocked or drops open. This problem first occurred in early december; however, it was not nearly as frequent; now it is almost every time i use my truck.
