This recall involves Bobcat and Steiner AirFX Finish Mower Deck attachments, which are used as professional mowing equipment. About 552 units are affected because the locking pins intended to secure the mower decks in a tilted or upright position for maintenance can fail to work correctly. The firm has received five reports of locking pins being impossible to install. Doosan Bobcat North America is providing a free repair for all affected units and interim safety straps for consumers to use until the repair is completed.
If the locking pins cannot be secured, the heavy mower deck can fall unexpectedly while being serviced or maintained. This creates a crush hazard that could lead to serious physical injury or death to the person performing the maintenance.
Consumers should immediately inspect and determine whether locking pins can be inserted while the deck is in the upright or tilted position during maintenance or service. Contact Doosan Bobcat North America or a Bobcat dealer to obtain a free repair, which will be available in the near future. Until then, if the locking pins cannot be inserted, obtain two straps, each rated for 1,500 lbs., and wrap a strap around each front tractor axle, securing each strap to the mower deck when performing service or maintenance. Consumers should contact Doosan if they are unable to obtain straps, and straps will be provided at no cost to the consumer. Doosan Bobcat North America is contacting all known purchasers.
Model numbers are located on the rear of the attachment on the right-side frame rail. Labels on deck include 'AirFX' and '72' or '61'.
