• Description:

  The Genuine Mopar 68312079AM Right Tailgate Latch Assembly is an OEM tailgate locking component designed to securely latch and release the tailgate on select Ram 1500 trucks. Manufactured to Mopar's exact factory specifications, this right-side latch assembly provides dependable operation, precise fitment, and seamless integration with the factory tailgate locking system. It supersedes previous part numbers 68312079AB, 68312079AC, 68312079AD, 68312079AE, 68312079AF, 68312079AG, 68312079AH, 68312079AI, 68312079AJ, 68312079AK, and 68312079AL.

  The right tailgate latch is a critical part of the tailgate locking mechanism, working in conjunction with the left-side latch and release handle or power lock system to keep the tailgate securely closed during vehicle operation. When activated, the latch releases smoothly, allowing convenient access to the truck bed while maintaining proper alignment and secure closure when locked.

  Over time, tailgate latches can wear due to repeated use, dirt accumulation, corrosion, or exposure to harsh weather conditions. A faulty latch may cause the tailgate to become difficult to open or close, fail to latch securely, rattle during driving, or prevent the power locking system from operating correctly. Replacing a worn or damaged latch with the Genuine Mopar 68312079AM restores smooth tailgate operation and factory-level security.

  Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the Mopar 68312079AM is engineered to withstand heavy daily use, vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes. Its OEM design ensures proper mounting, alignment, and compatibility with the original tailgate locking mechanism without requiring modifications.

  Choosing a Genuine Mopar tailgate latch assembly provides the quality, durability, and precise fit expected from original equipment components. This OEM replacement helps maintain the security, convenience, and reliable operation of your truck's tailgate.
