What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: on certain sport utility vehicles, the hydraulic lift cylinder bracket welds could fracture.

Possible consequence

With a broken bracket weld, there is a potential for the liftgate bracket to gradually bend inward allowing the lift cylinder ball stud to disengage, unexpectedly allowing the liftgate to fall from an open position.

Remedy

Dealers will install liftgate reinforcement brackets. Depending upon the condition of the liftgate sheet metal in the area of the bracket, dealers may also install a larger reinforcement.
