2017–2019 Toro LOG Splitter recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
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 fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
