CPSC, Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc. Announce Recall of Lawnmowers

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

If the lawnmower strikes an object with sufficient force, the crankshaft can bend. Vibration created by a bent crankshaft can eventually result in a fatigue failure of the Roto-stop™ blade brake control assembly. This can allow the cutting blade to continue rotating after the blade control lever is released, posing a risk of injury to consumers.

What to do

Honda Lawn and Garden dealers will repair these mowers by replacing the Roto-stop™ mechanism.
