Description of the problem | My tailgate on my pick-up falls open randomly. Supposedly the lock mechanism has a tab that is prone to break off when the tailgate locks automatically with the door locks. This causes the mechanism to engage to open and the tailgate falls open randomly. This could be catastrophic if i am hauling something on the highway and the tailgate flies open spilling the load on the highway. Should be a recall for safety. |
