John Deere has recalled roughly 150 consumer-grade zero-turn riding mowers. A fuel hose could have been cut during manufacturing, allowing fuel to leak, posing a fire hazard.
This recall involves John Deere models Z445, Z645, Z655 and Z665 zero-turn mowers with serial numbers beginning with 1GXZ, manufactured from August 10, 2015 through September 9, 2015.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled zero-turn lawn mowers and contact a John Deere dealer for a free repair. After identifying four reports of cut fuel hoses during the manufacturing process, John Deere is contacting all registered owners of the recalled mowers directly.
The mowers were manufactured at John Deere’s plant in Moline, IL. The mowers were sold at John Deere independent dealers nationwide from August 2015 through November 2015 for between $4,800 and $6,500.
