Exmark is recalling about 5,300 Quest ZRT mid-mount riding mowers from the 2009 and 2010 model years because the steering assembly can fail. This defect causes the rider to lose control of the mower, posing a serious crash hazard. There have been nine reports of steering incidents, including one back injury. These red and gray mowers were sold at hardware, lawn and garden, and rental equipment stores nationwide between April 2009 and October 2010 for between $4,600 and $6,000.
The mower's steering assembly can fail during operation, which prevents the rider from being able to steer the vehicle. This loss of control can lead to crashes, which have already resulted in at least one reported back injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and contact an Exmark dealer for a free repair.
