What this recall means for you
The tires on certain 2014-2017 Haul Master folding, utility, super duty, and tag-along trailers may not be strong enough to support the loads they are expected to carry. As a result, the tires do not meet the strength requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 119 for new pneumatic tires other than passenger car tires.
If the tires cannot handle their rated loads, they may fail while the trailer is in use, which increases the risk of a crash. Harbor Freight Tools will notify owners directly, and the recall began on December 5, 2017.
Owners can get replacement tires mounted on rims at no cost through Harbor Freight stores. To learn more or arrange the free remedy, contact Harbor Freight customer service at 1-800-444-3353, and check your trailer's VIN for any open recalls.
