Home › Cars & vehicles › Harbor Freight Tools — Jack Stands May Fail
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the stand fails, the stand can suddenly drop, increasing the risk of injury to persons nearby or under the lifted vehicle.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
Harbor Freight will notify owners, and stores will provide, in exchange for return of the jack stands, a gift card equal to the shelf price of the jack stands, free of charge. Owners are asked to immediately discontinue use of the jack stands for safety concerns. The recall began on May 18, 2020. Owners may contact Harbor Freight customer service at 1-800-444-3353 or Recalls@HarborFreight.com.
