About 6,200 Craftsman 30" mini and Troy-Bilt TB30 riding lawn mowers are being recalled because they can fail to come to a complete stop. The mowers may continue to move at a speed of about one mile per hour even when the clutch or brake pedal is fully depressed. This issue poses a low-speed crash hazard to the operator or others nearby. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. The affected mowers are red and black and were sold at The Home Depot, Lowe's, and other hardware stores nationwide from July 2021 through January 2022.
The riding mowers fail to stop completely when the brake is engaged, allowing the vehicle to continue moving at slow speeds. This defect can lead to unexpected movement and potential collisions with people or objects.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lawn mowers and contact Craftsman or Troy-Bilt for a free inspection and repair. Consumers will be assisted in contacting a local repair shop to have a replacement drive belt installed at no cost to the consumer. Pickup and delivery of the lawn mower will be arranged if necessary at no cost to the consumer.
