## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Power Liftgate option, in the event of a liftgate strut malfunction, the liftgate may fall freely without warning after the liftgate is powered open.  If the vehicle operator or passenger is standing beneath the liftgate when it falls, an injury may result.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the power liftgate module.  The latest software version allows the motor to sense a falling liftgate and activate an un\-commanded power close mode to control lowering of the liftgate in the event that a strut failure occurs.
