Tailgate Problems of Dodge Ram 2500

While sitting in the truck with the truck in park, but unlocked the tailgate came open. The tailgate hadn't been opened for at least 3. 5 hours. When the tailgate suddenly fell open it hit the hitch on our enclosed trailer putting a dent in the tailgate. When we googled recalls there's a mention of a recall on 2015 - 2017 ram trucks due to an actuator malfunctioning and causing tailgates to come open. Please advise if this is covered.

The tail gate is hard to open and hard to close. I have to keep pulling on the handle to try and get the latch mechanism to work. Usually takes 5 or so try's before the tailgate will open, close or stay closed. Sometimes the tail gate falls down while moving on a highway. The 4 wheel drive light does not come one the seat falls back if you put too much pressure on it in a backwards motion.

Weld failure in the area where the sheet metal is held together/attaches the pivot pins to the truck bed, the weld failured causes prevents the tailgate from staying in position.
