Genie is recalling approximately 10,000 PowerMax and TriloG screw drive garage door openers because the internal control board can overheat. There have been four reports of control boards overheating, posing a serious fire risk to homes. These gray openers were sold at major retailers including The Home Depot and Lowe's between August 2011 and October 2012 for about $250. Consumers should stop using the recalled unit immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.
The control board inside the garage door opener can overheat during use or while plugged in. This creates a fire hazard that can lead to property damage or injury, with four reports of overheating already documented.
