Hazard

The coolant overflow container on the recalled mowers can become over-pressurized and cause hot coolant to spray on the operator. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Operators should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and contact Toro to receive a free repair kit. Toro has directly notified registered owners of this recall.

Incidents & injuries

The firm has received six reports of burns to operators from the hot coolant.
