Recall Details

Company:
Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc., of Swepsonville, N.C.
Reason for Recall:
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.
Classification:
Class II - Moderate

Products that might cause a temporary health problem, or pose a slight threat of a serious nature.

Status:
ongoing
Hazard:
If the lawnmower strikes an object with sufficient force, the crankshaft can bend.

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