What happened

Kubota is recalling certain model year 2014 to 2018 mowers and compact tractors with model numbers BX, GR, ZD, and ZG due to a burn hazard. The recalled units, which are orange and black, have coolant reservoir tank caps that can allow hot coolant to spray out when the system becomes overheated and pressurized, potentially causing burns to consumers.

Consumers who own recalled units should immediately stop using them and contact Kubota to receive a free replacement coolant reservoir tank cap. Kubota states it is contacting all known purchasers directly. The model number can be found printed on the side of the unit, and the serial number is located on the data plate also on the side of the unit.
