Buy Walking VideosCybex Treadmills Recalled AGAIN
I usually don’t talk about treadmill recalls, but the Cybex treadmills have been recalled TWICE now.
Here is the list of treadmills that have been recalled:
This recall involves the treadmills “Cybex 400T,” “Cybex 410T,” “Trotter 510,” “Trotter 525”, “Trotter 535”, and “CXT+” that were recalled (link) on October 8, 2003 and later repaired. The treadmills are black with gray coloring, have rectangular uprights, and measure 69 inches long and 30 inches wide. The brands and models are written on the display panel. The “CXT+†model does not bear the brand Cybex or Trotter.
There have been five fires associated with these treadmills, so get this problem fixed before your house goes up in smoke.

Wow, that’s the last thing you need to be thinking about when you’re working out, whether or not your treadmill is going to start smoking!
I’ve actually had my treadmill so long that the company isn’t even in business. I’d love to get a new one that has more of a cushion, however I’ll keep using mine for now. 🙂

Treadmills Recalled Due to Fire Hazard Tuesday, October 23, 2007 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of about 4,700 Cybex and Trotter treadmills. This recall involves the treadmills “Cybex 400T,” “Cybex 410T,” “Trotter 510,” “Trotter 525”, “Trotter 535”, and “CXT+” that were recalled on October 8, 2003 and later repaired. The treadmills are black with gray coloring, have rectangular uprights, and measure 69 inches long and 30 inches wide. The brands and models are written on the display panel. The “CXT+†model does not bear the brand Cybex or Trotter.
During repairs associated with the October 8, 2003 recall, wire nuts were installed improperly, causing the treadmills to overheat and posing a fire hazard to consumers. Cybex International has received five reports of treadmills overheating or catching fire resulting in damage to the treadmill. No injuries have been reported.
