Kubota is recalling approximately 121,100 diesel and gasoline-powered zero turn mowers, compact tractors, and ride-on mowers from model years 2014 through 2018. The recall was initiated because hot coolant can spray out from an overheated and pressurized coolant reservoir tank. Kubota has received three reports of burn injuries resulting from this defect. The affected units are orange and black and were sold at Kubota dealers nationwide between July 2014 and September 2018. Consumers should stop using the machinery until they receive a free replacement coolant reservoir tank cap from Kubota.
The coolant reservoir tank can overheat and build up excessive pressure, causing hot coolant to spray onto the operator and posing a severe burn hazard. Three individuals have already reported suffering burn injuries from coolant ejecting from the system.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and compact tractors and contact Kubota to receive a free replacement coolant reservoir tank cap. Kubota is contacting all known purchasers directly.
