Summary
Region Letter: In these vehicles, a small number of customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the holding performance of the trunk lid. The operation and performance of the trunk lid is evident from first use and does not change over time. However, in certain limited conditions the trunk lid may begin to close after opening. The conditions below may contribute to this: ? if the lid is not fully opened ? if operated in certain windy conditions ? if the vehicle is parked on an incline ? if a heavy load is on the trunk lid, such as snow and ice, or if equipped with an aftermarket accessory such as a spoiler This could cause the user to interact with the trunk lid and, in limited instances, result in a minor injury.
