Does Installing a Power Tailgate Affect the Car?

[SamuelDella]

Installing a power tailgate can have several impacts on the vehicle, including failing the annual inspection, damaging the car's computer system, and malfunctioning switches: Failing the Annual Inspection: Since modifying a power tailgate falls under the category of vehicle modification, it must comply with modification regulations. Whether it is a legal modification still requires further review by the vehicle management office. Many unauthorized power tailgate modifications are illegal and will definitely fail the annual inspection. Damaging the Car's Computer System: Modifying a power tailgate can easily damage the car's computer system, circuits, and body, leading to issues such as short circuits, fires, or water leakage due to poor sealing of the power tailgate. Malfunctioning Switches: Most power tailgates on the market are divided into single-arm and double-arm types, and they are often produced by small companies with no reliable quality guarantees. Under long-term use and collisions, they are prone to malfunction, such as failing to close properly, which poses a risk of items or passengers being ejected from the vehicle.
