What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

The Toro Company (Toro) is recalling certain 2017-2019 LC922 towable log splitters, models 22618 and 22618HD. The tow bolts that secure the log splitter connection to the tow vehicle may fail while the splitter is being moved.

The risk

If the tow bolts break, the log splitter can tip over or detach from tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Toro has notified owners, and dealers will upgrade the bolts, free of charge. The recall began December 4, 2019. Owners may contact Toro customer service at 1-952-887-8973.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
