ShowHauler Garage Coach Lift Gate Chain Recall

ShowHauler is recalling 2014-2015 Garage Coaches because lift gate roller chains may fail, causing the platform to drop and increasing injury risk.

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 where a component failure results in an immediate drop, creating a risk of injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

ShowHauler Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Garage Coaches manufactured between September 25, 2014, and July 7, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with Thieman Tailgates-brand TVL 12/16 series lift gates supported by roller chains that may fail.

If either the street or curb side roller chain fails, that side of the platform will fall immediately to the ground without notice. This creates an uneven surface and increases the risk of injury to anyone nearby.

ShowHauler will notify owners, and Thieman dealers will replace the lift gate chains free of charge. The recall began on October 20, 2016. Owners may contact Thieman customer service at 1-800-524-5210 extension 104 or ShowHauler customer service at 1-574-825-6764. ShowHauler's number for this recall is 16E076. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
