What is wrong
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.
What could happen

ShowHauler will notify owners, and Thieman dealers will replace the lift gate chains, free of charge. The recall began on October 20, 2016.
