What happened

American Honda Motor Co. Inc. is recalling Harmony II walk-behind lawnmowers with model numbers HRT216, HRR216, and HRS216 that have engine serial numbers between 1128495 and 1438098. These mowers have dark gray bodies with red fan covers and "HONDA" written on top of the fan casing. The fuel tank seams on these mowers can split or crack, causing fuel to leak and creating a fire and burn hazard.

Consumers with affected mowers should stop using them immediately and check whether the gas tank is leaking. If a leak is present, the mower should be moved away from ignition sources such as water heaters or electric appliances, and the fuel tank should be emptied following the owner manual instructions. The mower should then be taken to a Honda power equipment dealer, who will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no charge.
