Official NHTSA campaign record

Why the reported issue matters

An unintended tailgate opening while driving may result in a loss of unsecured cargo, possibly creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

Official NHTSA campaign record

Prepare your observation

Identify the affected feature from the report. Do not deliberately test a trapping, detachment or unexpected-opening hazard.

A reported defect describes the campaign. It does not establish what caused a symptom on your individual vehicle, and absence of a symptom does not establish that an open recall is complete.

The reported manufacturer remedy

Dealers will inspect the tailgate striker alignment to the box latch and adjust, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 22, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB8.

Your campaign-specific service questions

Use these questions with the official report. Keep the answers beside the remedy record; “discussed” records a conversation, not a completed repair.

  1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 22V904000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

    A matching model and year is only a starting point. The official lookup or manufacturer must establish the individual vehicle’s status.

  2. What remedy, required parts or software, and appointment arrangements are currently available for this VIN, and which interim instructions apply?

    The source does not explicitly establish current remedy availability. Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions.

  3. Which door, window, latch or body component is covered, and what interim use instructions apply?

    Compare the answer with the reported component: STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS.

  4. If an inspection determines which work is needed, what was inspected, what was found, and which corrective work followed?

    Ask for the inspection result as well as the final action. A parts list alone may not describe an inspection-based remedy.

  5. What dated document records the remedy performed under 22V904000, and what should I do if the reported concern remains?

    Keep campaign completion and unresolved symptoms as separate questions. A saved worksheet or booked appointment does not establish a repair.
