Diamondback recall: Equipment
What is wrong
DiamondBack Automotive Accessories, Inc (Diamondback) is recalling certain DiamondBack HD and SE three-panel hard tonneau truck bed covers produced between March 28, 2018 and March 1, 2019. If the front panel section is not properly secured and locked, the front portion of the cover assembly could lift and separate from the truck bed while the vehicle is being driven.
What could happen
If the cover separates from the truck bed, it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
DiamondBack will notify owners and will send owners a kit including cab-panel tether and a redesigned safety catch that secures the cover to the frame, free of Charge. The recall began March 28, 2019.
