What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN TRAILER MOUNTED AERIAL WORK PLATFORM BOOMS, THE HOLD DOWN BRACKET THAT SECURES THE MAST/UPPER STRUCTURE FOR TRANSPORT MAY BECOME DAMAGED OR LOOSE OVER TIME. IF THE MAST HOLD-DOWN BRACKET SUSTAINS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, IT MAY NO LONGER BE CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE TRAILER MAST IN PLACE DURING TRANSPORT.

The risk

THIS COULD RESULT IN UPPER STRUCTURE MOVEMENT AND COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRAILER BECOMING UNSTABLE WHEN ROUNDING A CORNER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

GENIE WILL PROVIDE A MAST CRADLE REPLACEMENT KIT TO OWNERS OF ALL AFFECTED MACHINES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GENIE AT 866-927-7269.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
