Hazard

The engines for these products had fuel lines that were too long and could possibly droop and come in contact with moving parts, which can cut the fuel lines, resulting in fuel leakage.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using their lawn mowers until the fuel lines can be shortened. Registered owners should already have received a letter with enclosed instruction sheet and reply card for this modification. Contact Toro or a Toro dealer for a free repair.

Incidents & injuries

Toro has received no reports of fuel leaks, fires or injuries.
