This is in regards to a 1997 Chevrolet S-10 pickup. It's a 4 cylinder, 2 wheel drive. The left tailgate strap broke. The strap is clearly rusted throughout which caused it to snap. I noticed that there is a recall on this type of strap on a GMC truck. This is not a part for the average person to replace since it requires some dismantling of the tailgate. My Chevrolet dealer gave me an estimate of $90 to replace the left side. It would probably be wise to replace both of them. Is Chevrolet aware of this in their trucks and if so are they currently looking at a recall for this defective part? I would appreciate any information that you can provide.

Floor behind bench seat is splitting. If the floor splits all the way, seat will come down on the break line. Dealer is trying to look into the problem. Consumer is in the process of contacting the manufacturer.
