What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Genie Industries, Inc. (Genie) is recalling certain model year 2015 TZ-34/20 trailers manufactured January 26, 2015, to February 24, 2015. Due to out of specification cylinders, the stabilizing outriggers may drift while the boom lift is being used.

The risk

If the outriggers drift while the boom lift is in use, the lift may tip-over, increasing the risk of injury to the user or those nearby.

The remedy

Terex will notify owners on behalf of Genie, and dealers will replace the cylinder in the affected outrigger assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2015. Owners may contact Genie customer service at 1-800-536-1800. Genie's number for this recall is 150004.

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.
