GM Recalls Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra Pickups to Fix Tailgate |
||||
|
March 10, 2006
The recall involves 1999-2000 models of both brands. The cables used to support the tailgate can corrode and fracture, NHTSA reported on its Web site. A spokesman for GM said the galvanized steel cables were protected with a plastic coating but water has been found to get in the coating and cause the cable to corrode and snap when the tailgate is down. GM reports there have been 84 injuries because of the corroded cables, most of them minor scrapes and bumps. Owners will receive letters in April and the tailgate cable will be replaced with a stainless steel cable. |
