Details

On certain vehicles, some of the brackets used to attach the two gas struts to the rear door (hatch) may have been improperly made.

At high ambient temperatures, the increase in gas pressure in the strut(s) could cause one or both brackets to bend, resulting in the struts detaching from the bracket(s) when opening or closing the rear door.

If both struts detach from the brackets, the door will rapidly fall down possibly striking someone.

Correction: Dealers will replace the strut brackets.
