The Toro Company is recalling 2017-2019 LC922 towable log splitters because tow bolts may fail, causing the unit to detach or tip over.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (tow bolt failure) that can cause the equipment to detach or tip over, increasing the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for structural vehicle defects or significant injury/property-damage risks.

Plain-English summary
