We're all aware that the KDSS bolts and housing are prone to corroding (located on left-hand side, below 2nd-row door, attached on inner frame rail). The bolt style pre-2018 model year was an Allen-head bolt, which have been observed to strip easily or break the narrow Allen bit when corroded. The 2018+ bolt style is a normal hex bolt that should avoid the stripping, but it has been suggested it might be more susceptible to corrosion.
Unfortunately, there's simply not many data points on this forum yet regarding the 2018+ design for a good comparison. This poll will hopefully help assess the more widespread KDSS bolt style and level of corrosion / stuck-ness.
Also feel free to post photos of your KDSS bolt for reference, along with the state where your 200 spends most of its time and any preventative or unsticking maintenance you do.
