Lift supports lose pressure and lifting capacity over time due to seal wear, temperature cycling, and regular use. A failed hatch strut can cause the liftgate to fall unexpectedly, creating a potential safety hazard. It is recommended to replace lift supports in pairs to restore balanced, reliable support and ensure consistent hatch operation.
