Tailgate skin loose

[dpoll995]

I noticed my tailgate skin is very loose feeling. Is that normal? I put in a service request for it and the response says for the repair… on site education… so is that for them just to tell me it’s a normal thing?

Mine and my neighbors are the same way. Both VINs in the 40k range. I’m curious to hear if everyone’s is like that.

My vin is 67k range. I believe the build date is feb/2025

100 % that is the glue issue.

You are right

Nothing a little facelift (or booty lift?) won’t fix.

I was going to say the same thing.

I remember a YT video where someone showed this exact issue and the cause. Think it was from an owner in NH….

Did they simply glue the panel or did they replace the entire tailgate? I have a wrap so I’m concerned about having to have it rewrapped.

They replace the whole thing

My tailgate was "oil-canning". I just picked the truck up from service yesterday. New tailgate. Metal doesn't pop in and out any longer. Service told me it's a known issue. Clearly an adhesive problem (or assembly problem if we're feeling generous). It makes me wonder, in general, about the glue they've used... ??

Thanks for the information!
