Consumer Description

Good afternoon, As I was traveling down the interstate today my tailgate unexpectedly opened with no action of mine. A passing traveler signaled to me that this happened, and I was very lucky that nothing came out of my bed to strike a vehicle behind me. I was towing a travel trailer and the tailgate sustained damage from striking the trailers jack. Not sure if this is a new issue, but I have seen similar recalls on Rams from years past.
