Issue
The bolt and nut combination securing the bracket for the flip-up rear cargo door and its door balancer (opening/closing assist device) is incorrect. As a result, the nut may loosen and fall off, causing the bracket to detach from the door. If this occurs, the door can no longer be held in the open position and may slam shut without warning.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the bolts and nuts securing the bracket with corrected parts.
