Product Safety Recall
GM recalling Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks worldwide
March 10, 2006

General Motors Corp. is recalling 805,368 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks worldwide for weak tailgate support cables. Cables used to support the tailgate can corrode and fracture with loads.

The 1999-2000 models of both brands are affected by the recall.

GM said there have been 84 injuries, 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.
