Summary

Kawasaki is recalling about 1,100 FT730V-EFI series lawn mower engines used in Ferris brand riding mowers (models IS 700Z ZTR and ISX 800Z ZTR). These 2018 and 2019 model year engines have a high-pressure fuel line that can become damaged and leak fuel. This defect creates a serious risk of fire and burn injuries to the operator. Consumers should immediately stop using mowers equipped with these engines and contact a Kawasaki dealer for a free repair.

Risk
