“Commodore boot lock” can be too broad a description for a parts enquiry. The selected replacement here is a VF Sportwagon rear tailgate latch and motor assembly, within the listed 06/2013–10/2017 build scope. It is not the sedan boot latch or a side-door lock.
Confirm the body style before comparing the reference numbers. A similar motor housing does not establish that the latch mouth, connector and mounting arrangement suit the same door.
Keep VF Sportwagon, VF sedan and VE wagon separate
The VF Sportwagon tailgate-lock product page records references 13527320 and 13537955 for its stated application. The earlier VE wagon latch referenced 92202968 is outside this selection, as are sedan and side-door parts.
If the tailgate has previously been replaced, mention that when requesting a match. The fitted hardware and its original reference need to agree with the proposed replacement; the vehicle badge alone is not enough.
Compare the latch and gear housing together
The round gear housing is a useful orientation point, but it is not the whole fitment check. Compare the electrical connector, latch mouth and mounting points with the original assembly from the same direction.
Do not infer connector functions or an emergency-release procedure from a photograph. A part-selection image is not an electrical diagram or a safe method for opening a locked tailgate.
What a later catalogue number establishes
The GM catalogue entry for 13537955 records a later reference, 13542450. That reference relationship does not broaden the Australian body-style application by itself. Keep the VIN, build month, Sportwagon identification and physical assembly in the check.
A catalogue heading using the word “trunk” is also not a reason to ignore the more specific liftgate or wagon information. Resolve conflicting descriptions before choosing an assembly.
Prepare the repair enquiry
Send the VIN, build month, confirmation of VF Sportwagon body style, original reference and accessible photographs of the complete housing, connector, latch mouth and mountings. Explain any earlier tailgate or lock replacement.
The workshop should identify whether the fault lies in the latch assembly, controls, wiring or another component before an order is placed. This comparison establishes the selected configuration, not a diagnosis. Once confirmed, use the product link for the complete specification and current availability.
