HF has atleast in the past,pulled there trailers because of DOT fines and requirements they have not met..Two recalls that I have heard about with the tires and lights.
Not a product I would recommend to anyone,especially for what the op wants one for.
Thank you for contacting Harbor Freight Tools.
It has come to our attention that some of our utility trailer tires and replacement tires are not in compliance with certain DOT standards. We are temporarily suspending the sale of our utility trailers and replacement trailer tires while we conduct additional DOT compliance tests.
We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your business.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has hit Harbor Freight Tools with a $1 million civil penalty because it did not follow federal guidelines regarding the recall of more than 800,000 trailer light kits that did not include the proper side lights. Harbor Freight Tools did not report the issue to the feds in the appropriate timeframe, nor did it issue a recall for the incomplete kit within the five-day period required by NHTSA. It also was tardy in notifying consumers about the issue.
