Push lawn mowers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Husqvarna is recalling Craftsman 3-in-1 push mowers with Honda GCV160 engines that were sold exclusively at Orchard Supply Hardware. The mowers, manufactured between April and June 2014, have a black engine control/bail lever on the handle that can fail, which allows the engine to continue running and the blades to keep rotating even when the operator intends to stop them, creating an injury hazard.
The affected mowers are identifiable by their 21-inch deck, 12-inch rear wheels, gray cloth clipping bag, and model number 384531 stamped on the data plate on the rear of the mowing deck. According to the recall notice, consumers who own these mowers should immediately stop using them and contact Husqvarna for a free repair, as the company is directly contacting affected consumers.
