Toro is recalling approximately 3,700 Z Master Commercial 2000 Series ZRT riding mowers because a part called the idler pulley can rub against the fuel tank, causing it to wear down and pose a fire hazard. The recall affects 2012 and 2013 red and black models sold at Toro dealers nationwide between January 2012 and April 2013. Toro has received six reports of this issue occurring, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using these mowers and contact a dealer for a free repair.
The idler pulley can come into contact with the mower's fuel tank, creating friction that can wear through the tank wall. This allows fuel to leak or vapors to escape near moving parts, which creates a significant risk of fire.
Consumers should stop using the recalled mowers immediately and contact a Toro dealer to schedule a free repair and/or to check if the repair has already been made to the mower. Toro has contacted registered owners of the recalled mowers.
