What happened

Kubota is recalling certain riding mowers because their carburetors can fail, allowing fuel to leak and creating a fire hazard. The affected models are the ZG222, ZG227, and ZG327, which are gasoline-powered mowers with 48-inch, 54-inch, or 60-inch wide decks, 22 or 27 horsepower engines, and bright orange bodies with KUBOTA decals behind the driver's seat. You can identify if your mower is included by checking the model number and serial number on the data plate on the right side frame.

If you own one of these recalled mowers, you should immediately stop using it until you have it inspected by an authorized Kubota dealer and have a free replacement carburetor installed.
