Honda recalling lawn mowers, pressure washer equipment due to injury risk when starting
View Date:2024-12-24 07:11:46
American Honda Motor is recalling certain lawn mowers, replacement engines and pressure washer engines due to an injury hazard.
According to a recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, around 200 lawn mower replacement engines are part of the current recall, because improperly manufactured camshafts in the engines can cause the starter rope to suddenly retract when pulling to start, posing an injury hazard.
This recall is separate from the around 391,000 lawn mowers and pressure washer engines that were previously recalled in September 2023.
The products were sold at Honda Power Equipment dealers, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, Northern Tool, and various farm, agricultural, and rental stores nationwide from May 2022 through June 2023 for between $550 and $1,100.
Honda has received 2,966 reports of incidents related to camshaft failures, according to the CPSC, in addition to the 2,197 reported incidents and 38 reports of minor injures in the September 2023 recall.
What Honda equipment is part of the recall?
The recall involves the following Honda products:
- Honda HRN216 and HRX217K6 lawnmowers
- GCV170/200 G5B general-purpose engines used in power washers and lawnmower replacement engines
What to do if you have a recalled Honda lawn mower
Consumers should stop using the recalled lawn mowers and pressure washers immediately and contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair.
