This may be due to a change to the power tailgate release strategy after the body control module (BCM) has received a software update or the BCM has been replaced. When using the power tailgate release switch in the instrument panel, release switch on the tailgate, or the remote keyless entry (RKE) fob, the power tailgate release switch must be pressed 2 times (2x) within 3 seconds with the transmission in Park for the tailgate to release. If the power tailgate release is still inoperative, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14 for normal diagnostics.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214490-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214490-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10214490","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"F-250 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-250","2021_ford_f-250","2022_ford_f-250"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-350 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-350","2021_ford_f-350","2022_ford_f-350"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-450 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-450","2021_ford_f-450","2022_ford_f-450"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-550 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-550","2021_ford_f-550","2022_ford_f-550"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
