Vauxhall Insignia: Tailgate May Drop Abruptly After It Is Opened
Vauxhall Insignia Tailgate Recall Vauxhall is recalling 10,130 Insignia vehicles because the left-hand tailgate strut can develop a gas leak over time, causing the strut to lose its ability to hold the tailgate open. This may cause the tailgate to drop suddenly after being opened, potentially injuring people nearby. The fix involves replacing the left-hand gas strut on affected vehicles.
