What happened

Bush Hog is recalling certain Zero Turn Radius (ZTR) HDE riding lawn mowers because the mower blade can separate from the spindle, creating a risk of laceration to the operator or bystanders. The recall affects black mowers with gray wheels and gray rollover protection structures (ROPs) that have "HDE" printed on the left side beneath the seat and were manufactured on or before August 4, 2017. The manufacturing date can be found on a plate on the right rear frame underneath the fender, and the 15-digit serial number contains the manufacture date in digits 9-11. Mowers with a date code of 001 through 216 (representing January 1 through August 4) are included in the recall, though mowers with a yellow bolt fastening the blade to the spindle have already been repaired.

According to the record, affected consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lawn mowers and contact a Bush Hog dealer to arrange for a free repair.
