Issue
The recalled snow throwers may contain non-conforming parts, specifically a non-conforming brake arm, an attachment-drive belt, or both. As a result of the non-conforming parts, the recalled snow thrower assembly auger and impeller may continue rotating even after the operator control lever is released, posing a laceration hazard to users who may reach toward a rotating auger at the front of the machine inside the housing enclosure.
As of February 6, 2025, the company has neither received reports of incidents or injuries in Canada nor in the United States.
