Official summary

This Preliminary information communicates that unwanted liftgate opening can occur if the customer leaves a programmed fob in the vicinity of the passive liftgate antenna. If the antenna can locate a programmed fob in said area, the gate will open if the liftgate open switch or hands free sensor is activated.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
