Description of the problem | Tailgate hatch has opened while vehicle was in motion, intermittent problem. Received safety recall notice from ford for 16c13 tailgate release software update to boby control module, made appt and took car in on oct. 4, 2017 to fremont ford for this safety recall and also 16s30 side door latch replacement, they only performed the 16s30 recall but not the 16c13 tailgate software, said it was already up to date. Tailgate has opened unexpectedly twice since then. Need to clarify if safety recall 16c13 applies to my vehicle, and why was fremont ford unable to apply software update for the 16c13 safety recall. |
