Husqvarna Recalls Craftsman Push Mowers Due to Injury Hazard; Sold Exclusively at Orchard Supply Hardware (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Craftsman mower and check the data plate on the rear of the mowing deck for model number 384531.
  2. Check the first six digits of the serial number on the same data plate to see if they fall between 040114 and 063014, representing a manufacture date between April and June 2014.
  3. Verify the mower has 'Craftsman' and 'GCV 160' on the engine shroud, 12-inch rear wheels, and a gray clipping bag with 'Dust Blocker' and 'EZ Empty Bag' printed on top.
  4. Contact Husqvarna toll-free at 877-257-6921 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, to schedule a free repair.
