Summary

Scag Power Equipment is recalling approximately 4,400 Scag Liberty-Z zero-turn lawn mowers because the gas tank can leak, posing a fire hazard. The recall affects two specific models, SZL48-22KT and SZL52-24KT, sold between October 2014 and May 2015 for about $4,500. There have been five reports of gas tank leaks, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the mowers and contact an authorized dealer for a free repair.

Risk
