Holt Industries recall: Equipment

What is wrong

Harbor Freight Tools (Harbor Freight) is recalling certain Holt Industries Deluxe Manual Fluid Extractor and Dispenser units with part number 56384. When the unit is in dispense mode, the pressure relief plug may fail and result in a build-up of excessive pressure.

What could happen

Excessive pressure can cause the lid to suddenly detach, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Harbor Freight will provide a replacement lid ring and pour spout cap with an integrated pressure relief valve, along with instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 10, 2023. Owners may contact Harbor Freight customer service at 1-800-444-3353.
