GM is recalling more than 320,000 pickup trucks due to a problem with the tailgate, which could open unexpectedly. Auto123 has the details.
General Motors is recalling more than 332,232 HD pickup trucks due to a problem with the tailgate. There may be a glitch with the power lock/unlock function of the manually deployed tailgates.While it’s not necessarily a recall that involves serious risk to people, it is very large in scale with a significant number of vehicles affected.If lock/unlock mechanism malfunction and the tailgate opens on the road, any objects in the bed could fall out.
As for the cause of the glitch, Transport Canada explains that “on certain trucks, water could leak into the exterior tailgate switch.” The Transport Canada website lists 222,490 units are reported to be affected in Canada. That is almost surely a data entry error, and we can assume the correct number for Canada is actually 22,490 units. That does remain to be confirmed.Transport Canada's recommendation is as follows: “General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the exterior tailgate switch.
