I did but not on my current truck. It was my '14. I parked at a flea market and locked my truck as I walked away. I came back a few hours later and the tailgate was down but locked. I didn't know about the recall at that time so I had no clue as to what had happened. When I read about the recall it all made sense.

Nothing on MY 19. Now I have the DT 5th Gen, with the all electric tailgate., ie., no key, all doors unlocked to open. I DO NOT have the real high trim like Limited with FOB that opens gate, Above my paygrade, LOL

It’s a simple quick recall, I think the part is a couple bucks. I never had it happen on my ‘17 but I had them do the recall anyway.

I had it happen a couple times on my 2015 even though it apparently had the recall done. When it happened, however, the outside temps were between 10-15 F so well below freezing which does not happen that often in southern IN. I think the cold temps (I don't have a garage but only a carport) made the latch/grease stiff and not catch properly. Had to bang it shut hard a couple of times before it locked. Never had it happen once the temps were back above freezing. About the only thing I've had to go wrong on the truck so far. Bought it used a year ago with 36k miles in spotless condition.
