Keeping cars in tip-top shape is no easy task—it requires various tools to get the job done.
Safety is paramount when it comes to maintaining and repairing our vehicles.
That's why the recent item recall is something that all drivers, especially those who like to tinker under the bonnet, should take immediate note of.
Product Safety Australia (PSA) issued a recall for the Toolpro Trolley Jack from Super Cheap Auto.
The recall specifically targeted the Low-profile trolley jacks rated at 1600kg.
According to the safety alert, these trolley jacks could collapse.
The jack's front wheel axle, lifting arm pivot shaft, or cylinder pivot shaft could break during use.
Failure of these parts could cause severe injuries or death.
Additionally, these could also happen even when the jack is not in use.
The affected batches of trolley jacks start with the manufacturing batch number 'TH202311', sold between 9 January and 1 May 2024.
'Consumers should immediately stop using the product and check the manufacturing batch of their jack,' PSA wrote.
For our readers who may be affected by this recall, we urge you to take action.
These are some of the many tools car owners use for maintenance, so it's crucial to ensure that the equipment we use is up to standard.
If you've purchased the Toolpro Trolley Jack during the said period, check the manufacturer's label found on the top of the trolley.
Should your product be affected by the recall, take it to your nearest Supercheap Auto store for a refund or replacement.
Consumers can also reach out to Supercheap Auto through their hotline, 1300 175 010.
A faulty car jack could lead to dangerous situations, especially when working on your vehicle.
This recall is a reminder to practise safety when performing car maintenance.
We also recommend that you stay informed about product recalls in general, as staying up-to-date could prevent accidents and injuries.
