- 2004 Genie TZ-50Built February 2004 to May 2004
What the defect is
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.
What could happen
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.
What gets fixed
GENIE WILL PROVIDE A MAST CRADLE REPLACEMENT KIT TO OWNERS OF ALL AFFECTED MACHINES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2007.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 27 March 2007.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
