DiamondBack Automotive Accessories, Inc. recalls certain HD and SE bed covers

Select DiamondBack HD and SE three-panel hard tonneau truck bed covers produced between March 28, 2018 and March 1, 2019 may detach from truck.

DiamondBack Automotive Accessories, Inc. 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. If the cover separates from the truck bed, it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. DiamondBack will notify owners and will send owners a kit including a cab-panel tether and a redesigned safety catch that secures the cover to the frame, free of charge. The recall began March 28 of this year.

NHTSA campaign number: 19E018000
