A drive screw is drivingly connected to the reversible motor, the drive screw having a first end portion and a second end portion. A carrier nut is movably positioned on the drive screw, the carrier nut including a first appendage, the drive screw being selectively rotated in a first direction and a second direction to move the carrier nut from a first home position toward the first end portion and then back towards a second home position to establish a latched configuration of the cinching latch assembly, and the drive screw being selectively rotated in the second direction and the first direction to move the carrier nut from the second home position toward the second end portion and then back towards the first home position to establish an unlatched configuration of the cinching latch assembly, the carrier nut and the first appendage moving in at least two different directions as the carrier nut is moved from the first home position to the latched position and as the carrier nut is moved from the latched position to the second home position.
