Kubota is recalling approximately 8,600 ZG100 Series Zero Turn riding mowers because a fuel tank component can fail, leading to fuel leaks and potential fires. The firm has already received 56 reports of fuel tanks leaking. These orange-colored mowers were sold at authorized dealers nationwide between December 2012 and April 2013 for between $5,000 and $6,300. Consumers should immediately stop using these mowers and contact Kubota for a free repair.
The fuel tank's pressure relief valve can malfunction, causing the tank to expand and rub against the transmission drive belt and cooling fan. This friction can wear a hole in the tank, causing gasoline to leak onto hot engine components and posing a significant fire hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and contact Kubota for a free repair. Kubota is contacting its customers directly.
