Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the DeWALT DWD110 or DWD112 drill.
  2. Check the right side of the drill for the model number (DWD110 or DWD112) and look below the label for an etched date code.
  3. Identify if your date code falls between 2017-37-FY and 2018-22-FY. If your drill is marked with an 'X' after the date code, it has already been inspected and is safe to use.
  4. If your drill falls within the affected date range, or if you cannot find a date code, contact DeWALT at 855-752-5259 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or email recall@sbdinc.com to schedule a free inspection and repair.
