Recall 20V625000
Equipment — Toro · reported 9 Oct 2020 · 605 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
The Toro Company (Toro) is recalling certain 2017-2019 model 22618 Log Splitters and 2017-2020 model 22618HD Log Splitters. The tow pole mounting plates could bend after the log splitter is towed off curbs, over railroad tracks or into potholes, causing the tow pole bolts to break.
The risk
If the tow pole bolts break, the log splitter could tip over or detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Toro will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the attachment plate and add additional reinforcement bolts, free of charge. The recall began November 24, 2020. Owners may contact Toro customer service at 1-800-654-1882.
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.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
