Approximately 219,000 Honda FG110K1AT Mini Tillers are being recalled because the throttle cable can become pinched during packaging. This defect can cause the tiller's digging tines to rotate unexpectedly even when the control lever is not engaged. These red and black gas-powered tillers were sold at Honda Power Equipment dealers and Home Depot stores nationwide from December 2007 through March 2016. Honda has received 30 reports of throttle cable damage, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the tillers and contact a dealer for a free repair.
A pinched throttle cable can cause the engine to engage the digging tines without warning when the operator is not pulling the throttle lever. This unexpected rotation poses a risk of serious laceration or impact injuries to the user or bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mini tillers and contact their local authorized Honda dealer to schedule an appointment to have the throttle cable inspected for damage and repaired free of charge.
