Toro recall: Trailer hitches
What is 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.
What could happen
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.
