TIRES
Issued by Harbor Freight Tools · Reported Oct 9, 2017 · 95,237 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Harbor Freight Tools (Harbor Freight) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Haul Master Heavy Duty Folding Trailers, Utility Trailers, Super Duty Trailers, Tag-Along Trailers, and Folding Utility Trailers. The tires on these trailers may not be strong enough to support the expected loads. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other than Passenger Cars."
Consequence
If the tires cannot meet the strength requirements, the tires may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Harbor Freight will notify owners, and stores will provide replacement tires mounted on rims, free of charge. The recall began on December 5, 2017. Owners may contact Harbor Freight customer service at 1-800-444-3353.
