Consumer Description

There was a recall, NHTSA Recall 19V864, for an "unintended tailgate opening" when the electrical parts became wet. I had the recall performed, but the tailgate continues to fall when water gets in the tailgate. Ford needs to readdress this issue to replace the tailgate from an electrically operated to a manual tailgate. I had to start securing the tailgate with a device to keep it from falling down, especially when towing my RV. I am afraid it would have fallen down damaging it just like it did when I was towing my Son's RV causing over $600 damage to the RV cargo doors and damaging the Truck's tailgate. The tailgate has fallen down at least five (5) times since the recall repair. Last one was today during a thunderstorm. The truck was sitting still, other times driving down the road.
