Defect
On the gas-filled open stay of the tailgate, the paint applied to the outer tube's end cap is improper, allowing corrosion to develop due to salt exposure in coastal environments. Continued use allows the corrosion to progress, causing the outer tube to swell and the end cap to crack. When the tailgate is subsequently opened, the outer tube may break apart. In the worst case, bystanders in the vicinity may be injured.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the gas-filled open stay assembly with the corrected/revised part.
