The defect
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 remedy
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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 19V847000.
