CPSC, Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc. Announce Recall of Lawnmowers
USCPSC, Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc. Announce Recall of Lawnmowers
Recalling Firm: Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc., of Swepsonville, N.C.
Reason for Recall / 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.
Product Description & Identification
These are Honda Harmony 21-inch, walk-behind mowers with model numbers HRB216TXA or HRB216HXA. The model numbers are located on a metal plate behind the engine, just in front of the rear discharge opening. These black and red mowers have "Honda Harmony" printed in white on the front.
