Recall 15E054000: Equipment, Mechanical, Integrated Jack/leveler/stabilizer

NHTSA recall 15E054000 · announced June 24, 2015 · Maxjax · 236 units affected

The problem

Dannmar Equipment (Dannmar) is recalling certain MaxJax Portable Two-Post automatic car lift systems, part number 17152001, sold between September 2, 2014, to January 15, 2015. The affected car lifts may have lower carriage plates that may be insufficiently welded to the inside of the carriage.

The risk

If the lower carriage plates are not properly welded, they may not be able to hold the rated weight while lifting a vehicle. As a result, the lift arms may snap and the vehicle could fall from the lift, increasing the risk of personal injury.

What to do

Dannmar has begun notifying owners and will supply owners with replacement carriages, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2015. Owners may contact Dannmar customer service at 1-877-432-6627.
