The hazard
On certain aftermarket over-the-rail bedliners manufactured for installation on 1999-2004 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, the toggle wing assembly used to attach the bedliner to the truck bed is not engaging fully in the stake pocket of the pickup truck. The bedliner can become detached from the pickup while in motion, possibly endangering following motorists or pedestrians. Correction: Owners should return to an authorized Durakon dealer so that the bedliner can be inspected and, if necessary, repaired with a newly designed toggle wing fastening system, or if required, replaced with a new bedliner. These products do not fall within the class of products regulated by the Motor Vehicle Safety Act therefore this action is deemed a voluntary safety improvement campaign.
