The defect
ShowHauler Trucks, Inc. (ShowHauler) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Garagecoaches manufactured September 25, 2014, to July 7, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with Thieman Tailgates-brand TVL 12/16 series lift gates supported with roller chains that may fail.
The risk
Failure of either the street or curb side roller chain would result in that side of the platform falling immediately to the ground without notice, causing an uneven surface and increasing the risk of injury.
