CPSC, Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc. Announce Recall of Lawnmowers
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2003-10-15 · 04009
Hazards
If the lawnmower strikes an object with sufficient force, the crankshaft can bend. Vibration created by a bent crankshaft can eventually result in a fatigue failure of the Roto-stop™ blade brake control assembly. This can allow the cutting blade to continue rotating after the blade control lever is released, posing a risk of injury to consumers.
