American Honda Motor cites a potential hazard from 112,000 lawn mowers
|
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - American Honda Motor Co. is recalling about 112,000 lawnmowers. The company said the lawn mower's fuel tanks' seam can split or crack, leaking fuel, and creating hazardous fire to consumers.
The Torrance, Calif.-based company reported 25 cases of fuel leaking from these lawn mowers, but so far no fires or injuries have occurred.
 Honda's recall involves its Harmony II walk-behind mowers with model numbers HRT216, HRR216, and HRS216, and these model numbers can be found on the front of the lawn mowers.
Consumers should stop using these lawn mowers, and check to see if the gas tank is leaking. If there is a leak, immediately move the mower away from any possible ignition sources.
Honda Motor (HMC: Research, Estimates) encourages consumers to take these mowers to a Honda power equipment dealer who will inspect and replace the fuel tanks for free.
