Consumer Description

THE RIGHT SIDE TAILGATE CABLE ON MY TRUCK BROKE WHILE LOADING A WOOD LOG. THANKFULLY THE OTHER CABLE DID NOT BREAK OR THE LOG WOULD HAVE FALLEN ON MY LEG CAUSING INJURY. I HAVE INSPECTED THE LEFT CABLE AND IT HAS SIGNS OF CORROSION UNDER THE PLASTIC COVERING AS WELL. I HAVE A 1983 S10 P/U THAT USES STEEL BARS THAT HAVE A PIVOT POINT SO THEY CAN HINGE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE TAILGATE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THAT DESIGN, AND THEY STILL WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE RECALLS FOR THE FULL SIZE TRUCKS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO THE S10 FAMILY AS WELL. *NM
