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.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"06S42","part_number":null,"units":3229,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Autres","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules équipés du hayon électrique optionnel, si un des vérins du hayon ne fonctionnait pas bien, le hayon pourrait se fermer brusquement après avoir été ouvert électriquement.
