What this recall means for you
Certain Haul Master trailers may have rear lamp brackets that are positioned incorrectly. As a result, the license plate may not be illuminated, and the trailer may be less visible to other drivers. The trailer then fails to meet federal lighting requirements (FMVSS 108), which increases the risk of a crash.
Harbor Freight Tools will notify owners and provide a new tail light package at no cost. The recall began on October 10, 2016.
If you own an affected trailer, contact Harbor Freight customer service at 1-805-388-1000 to arrange the free replacement, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
