Aftermarket pickup truck over-the-rail bed liners manufactured for installation on 1999 - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup 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 it is motion, possibly endangering following motorists or pedestrians.

Durakon will issue a press release in attempt to notify customers that could have purchased the defective bedliner. If you purchased either a Durakon Allstar or Patriot over rail bedliner since August 1, 2003, for 1999 to 2004 Chevrolet Silverado or purchased one of these pickup trucks with either brand bedliner already installed, you 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 free of charge. Please call the Durakon hotline at 1-800-933-4200 to find the nearest authorized Durakon dealer.

This recall only pertains to aftermarket over rail bedliners and has no relation to any original equipment installed on Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks by General Motors. Customers can contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Certain extended and regular cab pickup trucks and cargo vans converted to compressed natural gas (CNG) fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 225, 'Child Restraint Anchorage Systems.' these vehicles have one seating position, the center rear seat, equipped with child restraint lower anchorages. The standard requires child seat lower anchorages in two seating positions for vehicles with three rear seating positions. The standard cab and cargo van vehicles, which only have front seating positions, have an air bag off switch to disable the front passenger air bag and do not have child restraint lower anchorages in the passenger seat. The standard requires passenger seat child seat lower anchorages in vehicles with an air bag off switch. However, the standard does not require vehicles with only front seating positions to have lower anchorage provisions if the vehicle is not equipped with an air bag off switch.

To bring the standard cab and cargo van vehicles into compliance, dealers will inject epoxy into the air bag off switch to prevent air bag activation, relocate the switch behind the instrument panel and then install a cover over the resulting opening. The sun visor label and owner's manual will also be changed. The correction for the extended cab vehicle will consist of changing the front passenger seat to a seat that has child restraint lower anchorages. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
