EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Genie Industries, Inc. (Genie) is recalling certain 2020 TZ-34 and TZ-50 trailer mounted boom lifts. The bolts that connect the slew turntable bearing to the chassis may have been under tightened.
- What it can cause
- The loose bearing may affect the stability of the lift, increasing the risk of personal injury.
- What the dealer does
- Genie will notify owners, and Genie technicians will properly tighten the slew bearing bolts, free of charge. The recall began October 28, 2020. Owners may contact Genie customer service at 1-800-536-1800. Genie's number for this recall is Issue 240.
- 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 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% 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 equipment 8 times before this, most recently in February 2016 as 16V067000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V552000 (structure).
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 October 15, 2020 as campaign 20V637000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
