Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 2,100 Cub Cadet commercial zero turn lawn mowers from the 2011 model year are being recalled because fuel can leak from the vent valve grommet on top of the fuel tank. This defect poses a serious risk of fire during operation. Cub Cadet has received 106 reports of fuel leaking or seeping, including one report of a fire, though no injuries have been reported. These mowers were sold at independent dealers nationwide between January 2011 and January 2013, and affected owners are eligible for a free repair.

Risk

Fuel can leak or seep from the vent valve grommet located on top of the fuel tank while the mower is in use. This leakage creates a significant fire hazard if the fuel comes into contact with hot engine components or other ignition sources.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled lawn mowers to prevent the risk of fuel leaks and potential fire.
  2. Check the frame under the foot rest for a label that lists the model number and the date of manufacture (DOM) to confirm if your mower is included.
  3. Verify if your unit is one of the following eight models manufactured between January 2011 and December 2011: M54-KH, M60-KH, M60-KW, M72-KW, S6031-KW, S7237-KW, TANK L48, or TANK L60.
  4. Contact an authorized Cub Cadet service dealer to schedule a free repair. You can reach Cub Cadet toll-free at (888) 848-6038 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Saturday.
