Default 2021 power tailgate problem

2021 Lariat with power tailgate, just a few months out of 3-year B2B warranty coverage, and now the tailgate seems to shudder, and seems louder, with actuation, both up and down. Functions fine for now, but seems like some part of the power mechanism is failing. Anyone had this experience? Any known potential causes or remedies?
TIA

Actuator is on its way out. It could fail tomorrow or it could last five years. Friend has one that sounds like it’s a gears are about ready to strip, it’s been doing that for two years.

Good morning. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and dealer info so I can look into this tailgate concern?
