Hazard

These lawn tractors can develop abrasions on the fuel tank because of the fuel line clamp's location. This can result in a fuel tank leak, which could pose a fire hazard to consumers.

Consumers who have one of the recalled lawn tractors should contact an authorized Husqvarna service provider in your area, which will provide a free repair.

Incidents & injuries

Husqvarna has received four reports of fuel tanks leaking. There have been no reports of fire or property damage.
