Kawasaki Motors USA is recalling about 33,100 FT730V-EFI engines used on Ferris and SCAG riding lawn mowers. The high-pressure fuel line can become damaged by contact with the fuel pump cover, leading to a fuel leak. There have been four reports of fuel leaks, including one fire, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled engines were installed on Ferris mower models IS 700Z ZTR, ISX 800Z ZTR, and ISX 2200Z ZTR, as well as SCAG models Tiger Cat II and V-Ride II.
A fuel leak near the engine poses a serious risk of fire and burn hazards to the mower operator and nearby property. One fire has already been reported due to this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using mowers with the recalled engines and contact Kawasaki or a Kawasaki dealer to schedule a free repair. Kawasaki is contacting all known purchasers directly.
