CPSC, Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc. Announce Recall of Lawnmowers
Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc., of Swepsonville, N.C.
Hazard
If the lawnmower strikes an object with sufficient force, the crankshaft can bend. Vibration created by a bent crankshaft can eventually result in a fatigue failure of the Roto-stop™ blade brake control assembly. This can allow the cutting blade to continue rotating after the blade control lever is released, posing a risk of injury to consumers.
Remedy
Honda Lawn and Garden dealers will repair these mowers by replacing the Roto-stop™ mechanism.
Sold at
Power Equipment dealers and Home Depot stores nationwide from November 2000 through June 2003 for between $700 and $760.
Affected count
30,000
Injuries reported
American Honda has received six reports of broken stop plates. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Manufactured in
United States
Products
