STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Genie Industries, Inc. (Genie) is recalling certain 2020 TZ-50 trailers. The bolted joints of the tongue structure may loosen and possibly separate from the main chassis.
- What it can cause
- The separation may increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Genie will notify owners, and dealers will torque the bolted joints to specification (90 ft-lbs), free of charge. The recall began October 7, 2020. Owners may contact Genie customer service at 1-800-536-1800.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 14 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Genie vehicles have been recalled over the structure 5 times before this, most recently in December 2007 as 07V558000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V637000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Genie Industries, Inc. with NHTSA on September 10, 2020 as campaign 20V552000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
