Nautilus is recalling about 7,300 treadmills, specifically models T616 and T618, because they can start unexpectedly on their own. This defect poses a serious fall hazard to users. Nautilus has received 21 reports of these treadmills self-starting, although no injuries have been reported to date. Consumers should stop using the machines immediately and contact Nautilus for a free software upgrade provided on a USB flash drive.
The treadmill's software can malfunction, causing the belt to start moving without user initiation. If a person is on or near the machine when it suddenly starts, they can lose their balance and fall, potentially leading to serious injury. There have been 21 documented cases of the treadmills starting by themselves.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled treadmills and contact Nautilus to receive a free USB flash drive with a software upgrade and installation instructions. Nautilus will automatically ship the USB flash drive and instructions at no cost to customers who purchased the treadmills directly from Nautilus. The instructions will direct consumers to plug the flash drive into the USB port on the treadmill to upload the software upgrade.
