Ram 2500 tailgate drops randomly while in motion without dash light warning on Ram 2500

Some Ram 2500 owners report experiencing issues with the tailgate dropping unexpectedly while in motion, which may be attributed to a known problem with the tailgate actuator limiter tab. This issue has also been reported in Ram 1500 and 3500 models with power locking tailgates. Owners have noted that the actuator limiter tab can fracture, leading to unintentional openings of the tailgate. Furthermore, Fiat Chrysler has expanded a recall for Ram pickups due to the risk of power-locking tailgates suddenly dropping without warning. This unexpected tailgate failure can result in damage and poses a significant crash hazard, as unsecured cargo may fall from the bed while driving. It is recommended that owners experiencing this issue have their vehicles inspected by a certified technician to ensure safety on the road.
