Husqvarna is recalling approximately 700 Craftsman 3-in-1 high-wheel, gas-powered push mowers equipped with Honda GCV160 engines. The engine control/bail lever on the handle can fail, which allows the engine to keep running and the blades to continue rotating even when the lever is released. These mowers have 21-inch decks and were sold exclusively at Orchard Supply Hardware stores between June 2014 and July 2014. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these mowers and contact Husqvarna for a free repair.
The safety bail lever on the handle can malfunction and fail to stop the engine. This allows the mower blades to continue spinning unexpectedly, posing a serious laceration and injury hazard to anyone near the mower deck.
Consumers should immediately stop using the mower and contact the Husqvarna for a free repair. The company is directly contacting consumers.
