    Hello! I was wondering if anyone has ran into the issue of their oem remote unlock/lock tailgate breaking . I’ve had my truck since the end of 2020 and my oem actuator gave out recently . I was hoping if anyone knew where I could buy the same actuator instead of having to buy a completely brand new tailgate lock/unlock kit . Thank you! Here’s a picture of the actuator that gave out on me .

    I haven't seen the actuator assembly for sale by itself. I searched for the part number printed on it a-7rx9-h953-aaxx but found nothing but full kits.

    Can it be repaired? Do you have the part that broke off?
