GM to recall hd's for tailgate dropping. Now includes some 1500's...

Up in western Canada we have to deal with rains, snow, salt (on the roads), moisture, massive temperature changes and guys like me.....who wash their ride at least 3 times a week to try to keep things spiffy!

 

Plenty of contaminates are experienced here in Canada where engineers who design NORTH AMERICAN vehicles are familiar with and yes, this switch failing is a complete surprise to me.

Most likely a problem with the vendor who makes the switch.

I have a few ideas to replace that OEM switch if nothing is invented from The General by the summer!

 

I might buy that "jobber" plastic housing I mentioned earlier and just start "play fitting" with a few weather proof water-tight small toggle switches out there. Looks like it's tight fitting in there where that housing sits?

Ended up getting a recall notice on my 2021, 1500 the day after I traded it in lol
