Approximately 24,000 rear tine tillers sold under the Ariens, Husqvarna, Jonsered, and Poulan Pro brands are being recalled. A defect in the transmission shift rod and clip can cause them to strike the control cable while shifting, leading the tiller to move forward or backward unexpectedly. These tillers were sold in red, orange, and yellow/black colors at hardware stores and home centers between October 2014 and May 2015. Consumers should stop using the affected equipment immediately and contact a Husqvarna dealer for a free repair.
The tiller may move in an unintended direction during shifting if internal components catch on the control cable. This unexpected movement poses a significant risk of the machine striking the operator or others, potentially causing serious bodily injury or deep lacerations from the tilling blades.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tillers and return it to the nearest Husqvarna dealer for a free repair.
