Anyone else come out to an open tailgate after this update last night?

Just thought it was odd.

thats sort of funny
never had it happen.

not sure what year you got, but there was a recall aura safety campaign for the tailgate opening on its own

 

[roadPilot]

Nope. The only time I've had that happen is when I inadvertently opened it with the remote.

As stated by others, there is a recall for this. I THINK it applies for 2017-2022 F150's. My dealer did something to my 2022 during a dealer visit for two other other recalls. I can't speak to any connection to subsequent software updates, but this is a known issue. I never experienced it myself, but know of two people where repeated tailgate releases occured, one causing an accident on an interstate highway.

This is the first time it’s ever happened on my end. I guess we’ll see if it happens again. 21 Lariat 3.5 Eb

My gut tells me it may have happened more often than beleived. I know both guys thought it had happened several times, just assumed that they had forgotten to put up the tailgate, or accidentally hit the released on the keyfob. Until they noticed it happening in real-time.

Dang, if it came down during update and hit the garage door, would the tailgate come back up? If not, that could make for some real damage if it was laying on the garage door as it went up. My truck sent me a notification my truck door was open during trailer module update recently but the door was never opened. Weird

Nope.
But what really annoys me is that after every update, I have to reset my customized gauge cluster and my seatbelt warning override that silences the ding ding ding ding ding if I don't buckle up

The service campaign is for 21-22

That happened to me with my 2015 F150. I chalked it up to me opening it with the fob and not realizing it. Left a nice little scrape on the truck.
