Subject
For Safety Recall U34, the rear liftgate on about 12,500 of the above vehicles may experience deficiencies in the sealing and water management system in the rear liftgate applique and rear tail lamp that can result in water intrusion and subsequent corrosion in wiring connectors in the rear liftgate wiring harness and the liftgateopening switches. This corrosion may result in an unintended activation and opening of the rear liftgate door at vehicle speeds up to 3.1 MPH (5 km/h). An unintended activation and opening of the rear liftgate door may result in a loss of unrestrained cargo. Lost cargo may create a road hazard and could cause a following vehicle to crash without prior warning.
Subject (Continued)
For Safety Recall U36, A-pillar sheet metal joint and plenum sheet metal to the heating ventilation air condition box on about 12,500 of the above vehicles may experience sealing deficiencies which could result in water intrusion and subsequent corrosion in the body control module A-pillar connector and/or body control module component. This corrosion may result in illumination of one or more telltale lamps and/or a loss of windshield wiper function, and/or a loss of all exterior lighting, and/or loss of horn function and/or inadvertent turn signal activation. In certain cases, a telltale may illuminate indicating an issue with the windshield wipers, auto headlights not operative and/or external lights not operative.
