Recall 1999224

The issue

On certain vehicles, the hydraulic lift cylinders are attached to brackets that are welded to the liftgate. under certain conditions, the bracket welds may fracture due to the brackets being inadvertently mislocated relative to the liftgate. There may be a potential for the liftgate bracket to gradually bend inward which might allow the liftgate cylinder ball stud to disengage. Correction: Reinforcement brackets will be installed.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les vérins hydrauliques du hayon sont fixés à des supports soudés au hayon. Dans certains cas, parce que les supports ont été soudés par mégarde au mauvais endroit lors du montage, il se peut que les soudures des supports se brisent. Il se peut donc que le support du hayon se replie graduellement vers l’intérieur et que la rotule se désolidarise du vérin. Correction : Des supports renforcés devront être installés.
