Log Splitter
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Brave Products' log splitters are being recalled due to defective rod retention in the hydraulic cylinders, which can cause seal leaks and rod detachment. When the rod detaches, the splitting wedge can rapidly and unexpectedly extend, potentially causing serious injury to the operator. The recall affects four models: the Brave VH0234 (34 ton), VH9926 (26 ton), VH9922 (22 ton), and HB0115 (15 ton), with specific serial number ranges for each model listed on the hydraulic tank decal.
Since Brave Products is no longer in business, no recall remedy is available. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should destroy and discard the product.
