On April 7, 2023, Harbor Freight Tools announced a recall for certain Central Hydraulics High Position Motorcycle Lifts due to two possible issues: Welds that may be susceptible to fatigue cracking, and also tubing quality that may be insufficient to repeatedly lift the loads for which this lift is rated. If the welds and/or tubes fail, the lift may fall unexpectedly and/or drop its load. This, in turn, could cause injury to people around the lift, and/or their bikes or other property in the vicinity.
The affected item number is #99887, which should be present somewhere on the lift itself and/or any packaging that came with it. Affected units were sold at Harbor Freight stores between October 6, 2008, and February 23, 2023. Around 41,715 units are believed to be affected.
