Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling approximately 8,600 units of 2015 Toro TimeCutter riding mowers. An additional 400 units were sold in Canada. The mowers are red and black with a gray seat, featuring "TORO" printed on the front and sides and a "TIMECUTTER" decal in front of the operator seat. Specific model and serial number ranges are listed in the official recall notice.
The recall is due to a fire hazard. The fuel filters on these mowers can become brittle and fractured, which allows fuel to leak. The manufacturer has reported five incidents of fuel leaking, but no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers. They should contact the nearest Toro dealer to schedule a free repair. Consumers with registered machines will receive a letter and a fuel filter, and may contact a Toro dealer if they are uncomfortable with the replacement procedure. The mowers were sold at Home Depot and other hardware, lawn, and garden stores nationwide from November 2014 through October 2015 for about $3,400.
