| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 |
