Service bulletin PIT5251C

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that may have an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate opens too quickly. Technician will ensure nothing was added to the tailgate. If the tailgate opens within approximately 2-6 seconds, no repairs should be made. Technician should inspect the right tailgate bushing if the tailgate opens too quickly.
