Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Exmark is recalling about 500 of its 2015 Quest riding mowers because the fuel filters can become brittle and fracture, allowing gasoline to leak. This poses a significant fire hazard, and the firm has already received one report of fuel leaking. These red, black, and gray mowers were sold at hardware and garden stores nationwide between November 2014 and October 2015. Owners should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and contact an Exmark dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The mower's fuel filter can crack or break during use, causing gasoline to leak onto the engine or frame. If this leaked fuel ignites, it can lead to a fire, potentially causing serious burns or property damage.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled 2015 Quest riding mower.
  2. Identify your mower by checking the decal affixed to the frame under the seat for model number QTS452CEM34200 and a serial number between 315606482 and 315628458.
  3. Look for the brand name 'Exmark' printed on the sides and in front of the operator seat, and the model name 'Quest' on the front of the mower.
  4. Contact an authorized Exmark dealer to schedule a free repair; if you are a registered owner, you will receive a replacement fuel filter and instruction letter by mail.
  5. Reach out to Exmark toll-free at 800-667-5296 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.exmark.com and click on 'Service & Support' then 'Safety' for more information.
