Issue
On certain trucks, the left-side tailgate cable may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, when under load, the cable could fail causing the tailgate to drop suddenly.
Safety Risk
A tailgate that drops suddenly could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Actions
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to dealership to replace the left-side tailgate cable.
