Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the serial number on the top side cover of your red and black Honda FG110K1AT Mini Tiller to determine if it is affected.
  2. Check if your serial number falls within the range of FAAA-1200001 through 1540521. These units are approximately 14 inches wide and 39 inches tall with 'HONDA' printed on the front tine guard.
  3. If your tiller is within the affected serial number range, immediately stop using it and do not attempt to start the engine.
  4. Contact your local authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair of the throttle cable. You can find a dealer or check for more information at www.powerequipment.honda.com by clicking on 'Recalls and Updates' at the bottom of the page.
