CPSC, Exmark Recalls Lazer HP Riding Mowers

Is my product affected?

Riding lawn mowers

  • Brand Exmark Manufacturing, of Beatrice, Nebraska

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Exmark is recalling certain 20-horsepower Lazer HP riding mowers because their fuel lines are too long and may droop into contact with moving parts. When the fuel lines are cut by moving parts, fuel can leak from the mower. The affected models are the LHP4420KC, LHP4820KC, and LHP5220KC, all with serial numbers between 320,000 and 369,999. The model and serial number can be found on an aluminum plate on the right side of the unit, located below and behind the deck lift lever pivot point.

Consumers who own these mowers should stop using them immediately. Registered owners should have received a letter with instructions and a reply card for the repair. To obtain a free repair or a copy of the modification instructions, affected consumers should contact their Exmark dealer or call Exmark directly. No additional parts are needed for this modification, as the repair only involves shortening the existing fuel lines.

Hazard

The engines for these products had fuel lines that were too long and could possibly droop and come in contact with moving parts, which can cut the fuel lines, resulting in fuel leakage.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using their lawn mowers until the fuel lines can be shortened. Registered owners should already have received a letter with enclosed instruction sheet and reply card for this modification. For a copy of an instruction sheet detailing the modification or for a free repair, contact your Exmark dealer or call Exmark. No parts are necessary for this modification.
