What is being recalled
THE HYDRAULIC LIFT CYLINDERS ARE ATTACHED TO BRACKETS THAT ARE WELDED TO THE LIFTGATE. THE BRACKET WELDS CAN FRACTURE.
Why it is dangerous
WITH A BROKEN BRACKET WELD, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE LIFTGATE BRACKET TO GRADUALLY BEND INWARD ALLOWING THE LIFT CYLINDERBALL STUD TO DISENGAGE.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DEALERS WILL INSTALL REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 95V-164 when calling a dealer.
