A recall of about 39,000 John Deere ZTrak zero-turn mowers with Kawasaki engines is underway in the U.S.
The recall was announced Thursday by Kawasaki Motors USA. It was prompted by “fire and burn hazards” potentially posed by the engines, according to a recall notice published by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Kawasaki Motors USA said in the notice the voltage regulators within the engines “can fail during use or while the product is being stored, causing the engine to overheat.”
Consumers “should immediately stop using the recalled mowers” until they can get repairs, according to the CSPC notice.
