I've heard a couple of owners complain about this same tailgate issue and since I had the February update installed on my R1S, I've had to push my tailgate closed several times. I did drop my fob, so maybe that was what caused the issue. The tailgate doesn't open all the way it just unlatches.

I initially falsely assumed software issue but later on, I realized it could only be the release button itself. I had it checked out by Rivian and they also said it was the release button. It was replaced under warranty and everything has gone back to normal ever since. Hope someone finds this thread helpful.
