Harbor Freight Tools affected trailers may be equipped with incorrectly positioned rear lamp brackets that may not illuminate the license plate.
The short version
Harbor Freight Tools reported a problem with the exterior lighting. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers may be equipped with incorrectly positioned rear lamp brackets that may not illuminate the license plate. The lights fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The trailers may be less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Harbor Freight will notify owners and will provide them with a new tail light package, free of charge.
