| Description of the problem | My tailgate is cracking along the inside seem. This looks to be a common flaw judging by the toyota forums on the internet. I don't even have 4000 miles on my truck, and have only used it for light/medium duty. This is supposed to be a heavy duty truck and this looks to be a serious safety issue. |
