Plain-English summary
Husqvarna Professional Products Inc. is recalling approximately 1,700 gas-powered riding lawn tractors designed for residential use. The recall involves GTH27V52LS lawn tractors with model numbers 96043009100 and 96043009900, and serial numbers ranging from 010810A00XXXX through 05061000XXXX. The model and serial numbers are printed on an identification plate located underneath the tractor seat.
The fuel line on the rear-mounted fuel tank is too long and can come in contact with moving parts while the tractor is in use, which poses a fire hazard. The firm has received 53 reports of fuel line damage, but no injuries have been reported.
The tractors were sold at Husqvarna authorized dealers nationwide from January 2010 to May 2010 for about $3,000. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled riding tractors and contact Husqvarna to arrange a free repair. For more information or to schedule a repair, consumers can call Husqvarna toll-free at (877) 257-6921 or visit www.husqvarna.us/july2010Alert.
