Defect description

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.

Safety consequence

If the tires cannot meet the strength requirements, the tires may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy
