| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The cable holding the spare tire on my 2002 silverado failed,my tire dropped from the vehicle and i initially thought that someone had ran into me. i looked in my rear view mirror and noticed my tire heading towards the side of the road. after retrieving the tire and then locating the other related hardware, i examined the cable and it reminded me of a previous failure i had on a cable that supports the tailgate in the open position. when the cable failed on the tailgate, i took my truck to the local dealership and they replaced failed cable, but let me know that there was a recall on the cables and would be asked to return and both cables would be replaced. i was called and the new cables were installed. i was told the failures had to do with a zinc coating either used or not used. i was curious if the same issue could apply to the failure of the cable that holds the spare time? *jb |
