Lift gate hinge nut concern - On effected vehicles, the tightening torque of lift gate hinge nuts at cabin side does not meet the specified value. Due to this, it may cause interference/noise with the body when closing/opening the lift gate, or water leakage may occur inside cabin. Originally the coincerned nuts are tightened to the specified torque at the production line. However, the thickness of the packing between the lift gate hinge and body shrinks slightly by heat during paint baking process, resulting in a lowered tightening torque.
