DiamondBack is recalling HD and SE three-panel hard tonneau truck bed covers because the front panel may lift and separate while driving, creating a road hazard.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component can separate while driving, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
