Latches/locks/linkages

Read full complaint

I WAS STANDING ON THE TAILGATE UNLOADING OIL AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE CABLE ON THE TAILGATE BROKE. I WAS NOT INJURED BUT WAS UPSET BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WOULD BE DAMAGE TO MY TAILGATE, THAT IT MAY MAY DENTED OR SPRUNG. I PURCHASED A NEW CABLE AND INSTALLED. I QUESTIONED THE CABLE AS TO HOW IT LOOKED WHEN BROKEN. IT ALMOST LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS CUT. THE CABLE BEING COVERED DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF WEAR. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE CABLE SHOULD HAVE BROKEN IN STRANDS. IT JUST SEEMS TO BE AN UNUSUAL BREAK. *AK
