Lawn mowers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Husqvarna, Poulan Pro, Jonsered, Craftsman, Yardworks, Murray, and Brute brand walk-behind gas powered lawn mowers with Briggs & Stratton 7.25 HP engines are being recalled because the operator presence control bar can malfunction, causing the engine and blades to continue running when they should shut off. This creates a risk of laceration to the person operating the mower. The affected mowers were sold in red, orange, blue, and yellow/black colors and have either four similarly-sized wheels or two larger rear wheels with two smaller front wheels.
To determine if your lawn mower is affected, check the model and serial number on the rear of the mowing deck next to the rear wheel against the recall list provided. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately stop using the mower and contact Husqvarna or visit http://husqvarna.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1255/ to determine if their unit needs a free repair.
