Anyone who owns one of the affected products is advised to immediately stop using it and contact Turf Care Products Canada to schedule a free repair.
The recall notice said that the safety hazard comes from a voltage regulator on select Kawasaki engines that could cause them to overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.
About 900 units were sold in Canada between April 2021 and December 2023. Around 68,500 were sold in the United States.
The company reported that there have been eight reports of fire in the U.S. In Canada, there have been no reports of fire or injury.
