What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that increases the risk of a crash, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Genie Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2003-2012 TZ-34 aerial work platform trailers. The affected units were manufactured between October 1, 2002, and July 12, 2012. A total of 3,889 units are included in this recall.

In the affected trailers, the outrigger assembly may not remain stowed upright while the trailer is being transported. If the outriggers do not remain stowed, they can strike objects in the trailer's path, which increases the risk of a crash.

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