Tailgate straps broke and tailgate fell off and slid down the road.there has been recalls on the full size truck tailgate straps but not on my 2001 s-10. It makes my 2001 chevrolet look nice with a dented and scratched tailgate. I think my next new truck will be a dodge.

General motors is conducting a recall on 2000-2004 model year full sized pickup trucks because of corrosion and failure of galvanized steel tailgate cables.he same failure has occurred on the tailgate cables of my compact chrevrolet s-10 pickup which is not covered by the recall. There was no warning or indication of this failure before it occurred. Hevrolet customer assistance advised me to get a receipt for repairs, but that they are not including the s-10 model in this recall. The failure occurred while I was standing on the truck tailgate and both cables failed at the same instant causing me to fall to the ground. No injuries occurred as a result of this equipment failure. I still have the old failed parts.
