DeWALT is recalling approximately 122,000 DWD110 and DWD112 3/8-inch variable speed reversing drills because internal wiring can come into contact with moving parts. This defect can cause the drill's exterior to become electrified, posing a serious shock hazard to the user. The recalled drills are yellow with black accents and were sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Amazon between September 2017 and November 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these drills and contact DeWALT for a free inspection and repair.
The drill's internal wiring can shift and touch moving components inside the tool, which can transfer electrical current to the outer casing. This creates a risk of electrical shock to anyone holding or touching the drill during operation.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled drills and contact DeWALT to schedule a free inspection and repair.
