2004 Genie TZ-50 recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trailer mounted aerial work platform booms, the hold down bracket that secures the mast/upper structure for transport may become damaged or loose over time. If the mast hold-down bracket sustains structural damage, it may no longer be capable of holding the trailer mast in place during transport.
💥 The risk
This could result in upper structure movement and could contribute to the trailer becoming unstable when rounding a corner, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Genie will provide a mast cradle replacement kit to owners of all affected machines free of charge. The recall began on april 5, 2007. Owners may contact genie at 866-927-7269.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
