Official summary
This bulletin announces a logic change to the prg control module designed to help protect the gate latch and actuator assembly from damage. If the operator tries to re-open the prg manually while it is in the process of latching electrically, the latch and actuator assembly will most likely be damaged. When the latch mechanism is damaged, the rear gate will not close properly and the door / gate ajar warning indicator in the combination meter will be displayed.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
