Defect
The back door gas-filled stay has an improperly applied paint finish on the outer tube's end cap. In coastal areas, salt exposure causes the end cap area to corrode. Continued use allows the corrosion to progress, causing the outer tube to swell and the end cap to crack. When the back door is opened, the outer tube may fracture. In the worst case, bystanders may be injured.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the back door stay with the corrected parts.
