Briggs & Stratton is recalling approximately 19,630 log splitters sold under brands such as Black Diamond, Crimson, Brute, and others manufactured by YTL, Longli, and TIYA. These machines, sold nationwide at retailers like Lowe's, Menards, and Home Depot Canada from March 2016 through February 2021, are equipped with 250cc engines that have faulty ignition coils and flywheels. Consumers should immediately stop using these log splitters and contact a Briggs & Stratton dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The incorrect ignition coil and flywheel can cause the engine to kick back or be difficult to start, which can strike the user and cause physical injury. Two incidents of broken wrists have already been reported due to this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled log splitters and contact an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for a free inspection and repair.
