Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kubota is recalling approximately 3,850 model year 2018 and 2019 Z100 series gasoline-powered zero turn mowers because the throttle cable can touch internal electric wiring, causing a fire hazard. The affected units are orange and black and include models Z122EBR-48, Z121SKH-48, Z125EBR-54, and Z125SKH-54. These mowers were sold at authorized Kubota dealers nationwide between July 2018 and January 2019 for about $5,000 to $6,000. Consumers should stop using these mowers and contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair.

Risk

The throttle cable can make direct contact with internal electrical wiring. This contact creates an electrical short or friction that can ignite the wiring or surrounding components, posing a serious fire hazard.
