Bob-Cat has recalled about 4,900 CRZ and XRZ model zero-turn riding mowers because a steering component can break, leading to a loss of control. There have been 22 reports of steering control arm failure during both normal use and initial setup, though no injuries have been reported yet. These mowers are green and black with gray high-back seats and were sold at Bob-Cat dealerships nationwide between January 2013 and April 2014. Affected owners should contact a dealer for a free repair using a newly designed part.
The steering control arm can snap while the mower is in operation. If this happens, the operator can lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which may result in a crash and potential injury.
Mower should be returned to the dealer where purchased for free repair with a newly designed control arm component. Consumers who completed the warranty registration card were contacted directly by Schiller Grounds Care, Inc, with instructions for obtaining the repair.
