Summary: The railift lift gates incorporate a chain anchor assembly that has the bolt hole drilled too close to the outer edge. It is possible that the bolt holding the lift gate chain, which in turn holds the lift gate in the proper position, could pull through the anchor assembly, allowing the lift gate to drop.
Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the chain anchor assembly, without charge.
