UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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
