What’s wrong with it?
If the tow pole bolts break, the log splitter could tip over or detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
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.
