Too Much to Handle?
Automatically opening tailgates, also known as electric tailgates or hands-free tailgates, have established themselves as an extremely practical function in modern vehicles. VEMO offers high-quality electric motors for the tailgate in tested premium quality, which ensure that this mechanism functions reliably.
Whether you have your hands full or just want to get to your luggage quickly – all you need to do is press a button or move your hand to open the tailgate. More and more vehicle types, especially SUVs and estate cars, are offering this function as standard.
These systems usually work with electric motors that are actuated by a control mechanism. Sensors are often used to ensure that the tailgate does not collide with obstacles when opening and closing, which increases safety and prevents damage to the vehicle. In addition, many vehicles today offer additional functions such as remote control or gesture-controlled opening, which further increase ease of use.
Common causes of faults in electric tailgate drives
With the increasing spread of this technology in various vehicle classes, the need for reliable spare parts is also growing. Various problems are frequently observed in the workshop that can affect both the functionality and the reliability of the systems. There are some typical reasons why an electric tailgate motor can fail:
❌ Broken or loose cables and plugs: Broken cables or loose plugs can lead to the components no longer communicating properly with each other – and the tailgate no longer working.
❌ Mechanical blockages: If something is blocked, for example by rusted hinges or dirt, the engine can no longer work properly and the tailgate jams.
❌ Moisture and corrosion: Penetrating moisture or corrosion on electrical parts, especially on the plug connections, often lead to malfunctions.
❌ Overloading: If the tailgate is loaded too heavily or closed incorrectly, this can overload and damage the operator.
Due to the frequent problems with tailgate motors, garages need reliable and high-quality spare parts to satisfy their customers and minimise repair times. Vemo offers a comprehensive range of tailgate motors specifically tailored to the needs of garages.
