Recalled Husqvarna Riding Lawn Mowers Pose Fire Hazard

Husqvarna Professional Products Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina is recalling almost 2,000 Husqvarna Riding Lawn Tractors that can pose a fire and burn hazard to lawnmower operators, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC).

The riding lawnmowers have a fuel line that is too long and can accidentally come into contact with moving parts during operation of the tractor lawn mower. Husqvarna is aware of 53 incident reports in which this happened and the fuel line was damaged. If the fuel line is damaged, it can result in a fuel leak, which poses a serious fire and burn injury risk to consumers.

The gas-powered riding lawn mowers are meant for private residential use and were sold at authorized Husqvarna dealers nationwide between January 2010 and May 2010. The following model and serial numbers are involved in the recall:

GTH27V52LS lawn tractors

model numbers 96043009100 and 96043009900

serial numbers 010810A00XXXX through 05061000XXXX

This information can be found on an identification plate mounted under the tractor seat. Consumers should stop using these riding lawnmowers and contact Husqvarna for a free repair.
