Cub Cadet is recalling approximately 4,900 model year 2018 RZT SX EFI residential zero-turn riding mowers because the fuel tank's neck can crack. This defect causes fuel to leak, which has led to 15 reports of cracking to date. These yellow, four-wheel mowers feature steering wheel controls and were sold with 42, 46, or 50-inch cutting decks between December 2017 and August 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these mowers and store them outside until they can be repaired for free by an authorized dealer.
The fuel tank's neck can develop cracks that allow gasoline to leak out during or after operation. This leaking fuel poses a significant fire hazard to the operator and surrounding property, particularly if the mower is stored indoors.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers, store them outside and contact an authorized Cub Cadet dealer or customer service representative to arrange for a free repair. Cub Cadet is contacting all known purchasers directly
