Tool Recalls
CRAFTSMAN Model CMCTL320B V20 Cordless Tiller - Cultivator
The CRAFTSMAN® V20 Cordless Tillers/Cultivators have been identified with a hazard related to the assembly instructions. The issue arises when consumers incorrectly attach the bottom portion of the tiller/cultivator upside down. This incorrect assembly causes the tines to rotate towards the user, which poses a potential laceration hazard during operation.
To address this safety concern, new assembly instructions have been provided to ensure proper attachment of the bottom portion of the tiller/cultivator. These updated instructions aim to prevent the tines from rotating towards the user, thus minimizing the risk of lacerations.
The recall for the affected products was announced on May 30, 2024, and approximately 44,400 units are included in this recall. Owners of the CRAFTSMAN® V20 Cordless Tillers/Cultivators are advised to follow the new instructions to ensure safe assembly and operation of the equipment.
