STATION WAGONS ONLY. THE REMOTE TAILGATE LOCK RELEASE ON THESE VEHICLES IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE TAILGATE LOCK CAN BE RELEASED ONLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL WIRING ERROR THE REMOTE RELEASE BUTTON CAN BE ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, ALLOWING THE TAILGATE TO OPEN. THIS MIGHT RESULT IN INJURIES TO PASSENGERS IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT AREA.
Transport Canada recorded this notice in capitals, as its system did for many years. It is reproduced here exactly as published.
