Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall
Sorry if this a repost......
The Harbor Freight jack stands that we've all bought, borrowed or seen in our friends' garages are being recalled due to a risk of collapsing under load. Go check yours immediately. In a recall filed with the NHTSA on March 20 of this year, Harbor Freight explains that certain 6-ton jack stands have the potential to disengage their support pawl under shifting weight, causing the stand to drop suddenly. A second recall, filed May 3, extends the recall to 3-ton jack stands. The defect is attributed to aging tooling at the factory that produced the jack stands. Harbor Freight The recall document says that the problem could affect more than 450,000 6-ton jack stands produced between 2013 and 2019 and nearly 1.3 million 3-ton jack stands produced between 2012 and 2020. These jack stands were sold under the Pittsburg brand name, and can be identified by item numbers 56371 or 61196 on 3-ton models, and 61197 on 6-ton models. Harbor Freight urges anybody in possession of affected jack stands to return them to the store in exchange for a gift card equal to the price of the stands. Any unsold jack stands covered by the recall have been removed from stores. Check on your buddies and spread the word around—these jack stands are ubiquitous, and a failure like this could be fatal. |

Re: Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall
Now HF is offering to take back any of their jackstands, no matter when they were purchase and whether or not they are affected by the recall.

Re: Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall
While I still have jack stands for use around the shop any time I have wheels off, if I'm doing work that will accommodate the use of these stands I much prefer them. A lift would be nicer, but without one these have provided a very stable platform to work from.

Re: Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall
I must have a set that was built prior to this recall. I have jacked up my 6K pound 2500HD on many occasion and not had an issue. Also my little 64 C10 of course.
I have six of them and two craftsman, I would say for the last 30 years.

That red milk crate will get crushed if someone does not lower that engine correctly.
