Consumer Description

DT: THE CONTACT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH TAILGATE THAT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER VEHICLES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER, BUT HIS MANUFACTURER TOLD HIM THAT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT IN WITH THE RECALL BUT HE IS HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 04V129000 THE SUMMARY FOR THE COMPALINT IS AS FOLLOWS: ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE GALVANIZED STEEL TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES THAT RETAIN THE TAILGATE IN THE FULL OPEN (HORIZONTAL) POSITION MAY CORRODE, WEAKEN, AND EVENTUALLY FRACTURE.
