So? 92-96 have over a dozen recalls. Don't see how we can bash one vehicle when ours have recalls too. Oh, by the way, my tailgate cable failed. Too bad Ford didn't replace it for free.
What a joke, if a guy was lucky he could ask mr goodwrench for the old cables and put em in the glovebox so when the new ones break in ten years you could just slap them on
Quote from the story I read. "Last month, regulators said they were looking into reports where tailgates were falling off the backs of pickup trucks without warning. "
When I heard the word 'tailgate', I thought it might have something to do with the optional tailgate warmers I heard they were putting in those GMs- you know, so the guys pushing don't freeze their hands in the winter...

For an item that should get no claims, when you have just 1,000 a bell should go off and when it reached 10,000 lights and sirens should have gone off. Sounds like to me they knew about the problem, waited, and hoped the problem would go away.
