Tailgate Streams Water When Opened After It Rains
AFFECTED VEHICLES
2016 Pilot
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article replaces the one posted in May 2017 to extend the article’s shelf life. The issue(s) covered
are still being addressed.
Some customers have reported that when opening the tailgate after it rains they’re getting doused with a stream of water
while standing under it. We’re aware of this issue and have it under investigation.
If the water is streaming down along the sides of the tailgate, it’s normal. The tailgate is designed to do this.
If it’s streaming down from inside the tailgate, it could be a sealing issue and we’re working on a solution. We’ll let you
know when it’s available. Until then, just follow normal troubleshooting procedures to find and fix the leak.
