Description of the problem	The tailgate opens on its own randomly while parked and when moving. This first started happening in the fall of 2018 and i still on going and happen to me again this weekend 1/14/2020 ford had issued a recall for this issue on 2017 and newer trucks but mine is not listed in the recall. How do i get it added to the recall to fix this safety problem. The recall covers f-250, f-350 and f-450 trucks from the 2017 through 2019 model years. All the trucks have electric tailgate latch release switches in the tailgate handle. Ford says water can get into the electrical wiring and cause a short circuit, activating the switches and releasing the latches. That could allow loose cargo to fall onto the road.
