What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Genie Industries, Inc. (Genie) is recalling certain model year 2003-2012 TZ-34 aerial work platform trailers manufactured October 1, 2002, through July 12, 2012. In the affected trailers, the outrigger assembly may not remain stowed upright while the trailer is being transported.

The risk

If the outriggers do not remain stowed, the outriggers can strike objects in the trailers path, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Genie will notify owners, and dealers will install a new outrigger control manifold. The recall is expected to begin during November 2013. Owners may contact the Terex AWP at 1-800-536-1800. Genie's recall number is SN 130009.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
