Doosan Bobcat North America has recalled approximately 830 Bobcat and Kubota stand-on zero-turn lawnmowers sold nationwide between March 2023 and August 2023. Steering system dampers on these mowers can fail to return the control levers to the neutral position. This failure prevents the Operator Presence safety switch from stopping the engine and blades when the operator releases the controls, posing serious crash and laceration risks. No injuries have been reported to date. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled equipment and contact their dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The steering system defect prevents the mower from automatically stopping when the controls are released. This can result in the mower continuing to move or the blades continuing to spin, which could lead to a crash or severe lacerations for the operator or bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lawnmowers and contact Doosan Bobcat North America or Kubota Tractor Corp for a free inspection and repair. The firms are contacting all known purchasers directly.
