So what do they mean by that? if it's not 12 months old yet, surely that makes it even more appalling? :scratch:
Just a thought btw mate, is the bed of your truck actually tightened down properly?, i'm thinking if it's loose maybe it's been hitting the cab when you brake, any marks on the back of the cab?
My first D40 had a loose bed, i jumped underneath and tightened it up myself, not seen one split like that though :shock:

It's the top of the bed mate just behind the cab, looks like a shiny speed liner too? :wink:Navman Joe said:

Still cant work it out but never mind :? :lol:
Are they saying that you caused it, they'd never get away with it otherwise. it's very peculiar, I was trying to compare it with mine(too dark now), it,s not easy to see how it failed. When you look inside does it seem to be parting at welds. It looks like a stress fracture caused by flexing or something. I've never seen anything like that on any pickups I've owned. :scratch:

what is the white in the cracks?
It looks like aluminium splits?
As stated before, its a stress crack, so something is not shaped right - for it to split there the bed must not be flat?, and its under tension when it was bolted down.
If the dealer wont behave - go to a different dealer - if mine did that i would park it across their front gate till they agreed to fix it!

Hi Momerman,
Sorry to see your pics and hear your news..........I'am just going by your forum name and i wonder if you have put heavy machinery in the back......maybe in the middle of something that may have caused it to stress........please note i am not having a go at you here....but i bet that is what mr Nissan is thinking.
I really think this is awful and for them just to disregard it without looking further into it....well i don't know what to say.....but i wish you luck........and hope it gets sorted........
