Genie TZ-34/20 Recall 15V326: Outriggers May Drift, Risking Lift Tip-Over

NHTSA campaign 15V326, reported May 29, 2015, 26 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2015 Genie TZ-34/20 trailers built between January 26 and February 24, 2015, may have out-of-specification outrigger cylinders. While the boom lift is in use, the stabilizing outriggers can drift, which may cause the lift to tip over.

A tip-over can injure the operator or people nearby. If you own or operate an affected unit, stop using the lift for any work that depends on the outriggers holding position until the repair is done. Owners will be notified by Terex on behalf of Genie, and the affected outrigger cylinder will be replaced free of charge at an authorized dealer. You can also contact Genie customer service at 1-800-536-1800, referencing recall number 150004, and check your VIN for open recalls.
