Snapper walk-behind rotary lawn mowers with model number MR216015T

Published April 23, 2026 · Recall initiated: August 28, 2001

What's the hazard

Lawn mowers that have a serial number beginning with a 0 may exhibit improper blade retention that could injure the operator or a bystander, if the blade separates from the mower's housing. In addition, all Snapper mowers purchased after January 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 11020001 and 11024924, may have crankshafts that also adversely affect blade retention and require modification by a Snapper dealer.

What to do

Consumers who have not received a notice from Snapper regarding this matter or have not been contacted by their Snapper dealer should stop using the MR216015T immediately and return it to the Snapper dealer where purchased, for an inspection and possible repair.
