LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE STEEL CABLES THAT SUPPORT THE TAIL GATE OF MY 2003 FORD RANGER FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE TAILGATE DROPPED AND IT THE BUMPER. HAD I BEEN STANDING ON THE TAIL GATE OR HAD A LOAD PLACED ON IT I WOULD HAVE FALLEN TO THE GROUND OR THE LOAD WOULD HAVE DROPPED WHICH EITHER WOULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY. THE CABLES FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THEY ARE COVERED BY A PLASTIC SLEEVE WITH OPEN ENDS WHICH ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE CABLE ASSEMBLY AND BECOME TRAPPED CAUSING THE CABLE TO CORRODED PREMATURELY. *TR
