What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

GENIE IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 TZ-50 TRAILERS. MATERIALS USED IN THE BOOM AND CHASSIS COMPONENTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CRACKING.

The risk

CRACKING IN THESE SUPPORTING STRUCTURES COULD RESULT IN THE PLATFORM FALLING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES AND/OR A VEHICLE CRASH.

Notes

OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO <A HREF=HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV>HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV</A> .

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.
