Treadmill Safety Tether Circuit Defect May Prevent Emergency Stop

Full Vision Inc. Trackmaster treadmills have a rare circuit defect that may prevent the safety tether from stopping the machine during a fall.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall of a safety mechanism (Magnetic Safety Tether) that may fail to activate during an emergency. The hazard is concrete and real—a circuit defect under specific conditions. No injuries or deaths have been reported, but the potential for serious injury exists if the emergency stop fails during a fall.

Plain-English summary

Full Vision Inc. is recalling three Trackmaster treadmills (Model #317-07929, 220V) due to a rare defect in the safety mechanism.

The affected treadmills contain a circuit defect on the control board that manages the Magnetic Safety Tether. Under specific conditions, the circuit can enter a latch-up state. If a user falls and pulls the magnetic tether to trigger the emergency stop, the circuit may fail to respond and the treadmill may continue running instead of stopping.

Three units with serial numbers FVDC-7641, FVDC-7642, and FVDC-7643 were distributed to Wisconsin, Georgia, New York, and Mexico.

If you own an affected treadmill, discontinue use immediately. Contact Full Vision Inc. for repair or replacement instructions. Do not operate the machine until the safety circuit has been inspected or corrected.
