1 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2024

My tailgate unexpectedly open as I was driving down the road. (2021 GMC 2500 denali sierra) this was the second time this has happened and lost things driving down the road. (3 propane tanks and a small grill the first and then an air compressor the second time) both times it happened I opened and closed the tailgate with the vehicle running. Both times I was unaware of tailgate opening and did not notice until I got home. The first time it happened I thought it was operator error but after this weekend, I looked into this and see there was a recall on it this month. I still felt it was necessary to report incidents.
