Manufacturer summary

Original wording in English

Some 2019-2020 Edge/Nautilus vehicles may exhibit an inoperative power liftgate with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B144F:79 stored in the rear gate trunk module (RGTM). This may be due to the calibration of the RGTM. To resolve the concern, reprogram the RGTM using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming use causal part number 14B291 and Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. Do not replace the power strut unless DTC B144F remains after reprograming the RGTM.

Repeated filings are grouped only when make, bulletin number, publication date and complete summary agree. Original record numbers are retained. Older publications remain available, and an explicit later version is shown when established. Pre-1994 vehicle associations are separated from default results; an unspecified year does not mean all model years apply.
