Honda Harmony Walk-Behind Lawnmowers
Published October 15, 2003
Summary
CPSC records recall 04009, published October 15, 2003. Recalling firm: Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing Inc., of Swepsonville, N.C.; Reported units: 30,000.
What's the hazard
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.
What to do
Honda Lawn and Garden dealers will repair these mowers by replacing the Roto-stop™ mechanism.
