What Is the NordicTrack RW900 Rowing Machine?

The recalled product is the NordicTrack Model NTRW19147 rowing machine. The affected model variants are NTRW19147.0, NTRW19147.1, NTRW19147.2, and NTRW19147.3.

The recalled machines are black, gray, and white. They have “NordicTrack” printed in black letters on the front legs and “RW900” printed in white letters on the back legs.

The model number is printed on a decal attached to the rower base. Owners should compare the model number on the machine against the recall notice before assuming that a rowing machine is included.

The recalled machines were sold at Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, ABT, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Target, Amazon, and NordicTrack.com. They were sold from November 2018 through April 2022 for about $1,700.

Which NordicTrack Rowing Machines Are Recalled?

The recall applies to NordicTrack Model NTRW19147 rowing machines with these model-number variants:

• NTRW19147.0
• NTRW19147.1
• NTRW19147.2
• NTRW19147.3

Owners should check the model-number decal on the rower base. The recall does not apply to every NordicTrack rowing machine or every RW900-style product unless the machine matches the recalled model information.

If the decal is difficult to read, purchase records, serial-number photos, order confirmations, screenshots, customer-service communications, and product photos may help confirm product identity. Owners can also use the NordicTrack recall page to begin the claim process.

Reported Risks or Injuries

The reported hazard is overheating of the screen console. CPSC says the console can overheat and ignite, creating a fire hazard.

CPSC reported eight incidents involving recalled NordicTrack rowing machines. Those incidents included two fires, six reports of smoking or melting, and at least $6,000 in property damage.

CPSC reported no injuries in the recall notice. Property damage was reported, but the notice does not identify specific damaged items such as flooring, walls, furniture, or nearby equipment.

Smoke exposure, burn injuries, evacuation costs, and broader property losses may be possible consequences of a fire incident, but they were not reported as injuries in the CPSC recall notice. Consumers with those losses should document the event carefully for any insurance or legal review.

How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?

The problem can occur when the rowing machine’s screen console overheats. If the console ignites, the machine can create a fire hazard inside a home, garage, gym, apartment, or other indoor workout space.

A legal investigation may examine the console design, electrical components, heat management, wiring, warnings, instructions, testing records, consumer complaints, warranty records, recall timing, and repair communications. These records may help determine whether the product design, manufacturing, warnings, post-sale monitoring, or recall response were adequate.

Potentially responsible parties may include iFIT Inc., manufacturers, component suppliers, importers, distributors, retailers, online sellers, or other entities involved in designing, manufacturing, importing, selling, repairing, or warning about the recalled rowing machine. Liability depends on product identity, incident facts, causation, damages, available defendants, insurance issues, and applicable state law.

The recall itself does not automatically prove that any company is legally responsible for a specific property-damage or injury claim. An individual review may focus on whether the recalled console overheated, whether a fire or melting event occurred, and what evidence connects the machine to the losses.

Who May Be Affected?

Consumers may be affected if they purchased or used a recalled NordicTrack Model NTRW19147 rowing machine. Owners should confirm the exact model variant using the decal on the rower base.

People may also be affected if a recalled machine was kept in a shared home, apartment, fitness room, garage, or workplace. Household members, renters, guests, or gym users could be affected if a smoking, melting, or fire incident occurred nearby.

Consumers should stop using and unplug the recalled rowing machine immediately. They should contact iFIT to arrange the free in-home console replacement by an authorized technician.

Owners who experienced an incident should consider preserving photos, videos, purchase records, model-number images, fire reports, insurance records, repair communications, and damaged-property documentation. Evidence may be important because recall eligibility, insurance recovery, and legal claims depend on product identification and causation.

Do I Qualify?

• Did you purchase or use a recalled NordicTrack Model NTRW19147 rowing machine?
• Did the screen console overheat, smoke, melt, ignite, or cause a fire?
• Did the incident cause property damage, smoke exposure, medical treatment, repair costs, insurance losses, or other expenses?
• Do you have photos, videos, purchase records, model-number images, fire reports, insurance records, repair records, or communications about the recall?

A legal review can help determine eligibility by evaluating product identity, incident facts, evidence, damages, potentially responsible parties, insurance issues, and filing deadlines.

Legal Process Overview

Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the rower model number, purchase date, seller, incident description, recall status, and any losses. Photos, order records, fire reports, insurance communications, repair estimates, medical records, and recall communications may help establish the basic facts.

Step 2: Investigation. The investigation may examine product identity, console behavior, electrical evidence, incident timing, fire or smoke documentation, CPSC recall materials, service records, and communications with iFIT or NordicTrack. Attorneys may also review whether the incident matches the overheating-console hazard described in the recall.

Step 3: Filing. A supported claim may allege defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other product liability theories. Filing occurs only when the evidence and applicable law support a claim against one or more responsible parties.

Step 4: Discovery/negotiation. The parties may exchange product-design materials, console specifications, testing records, complaint data, recall communications, service records, fire reports, property-loss documentation, expert opinions, and testimony. Negotiations may focus on causation, property damage, medical issues, insurance offsets, repair costs, and unreimbursed losses.

Step 5: Resolution. A claim may resolve through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The outcome depends on proof of product involvement, defect evidence, loss documentation, damages, defenses, available defendants, and applicable law.
