Affected Component: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

Summary
While stopped with the transmission in Park position, some vehicles may exhibit concerns that the liftgate unlatches itself without pressing the liftgate opener switch (1) or it will not unlatch when pressing the liftgate opener switch (1). NOTE: The liftgate (power or manual type) will not unlatch or open by itself while the vehicle is being driven. This concern can only occur while the vehicle is stopped and in the Park position. This concern may be caused by water entry into the liftgate, through the garnish mounting area or outer panel. Condensation water may enter into the liftgate and drip onto the liftgate opener switch causing corrosion. The corrosion may create a poor contact or short in the liftgate opener switch. To eliminate this concern in the future, the structure of the liftgate opener switch has been improved.
