Hazard

If the lawnmower strikes an object with sufficient force, the crankshaft can bend. Vibration created by a bent crankshaft can eventually result in a fatigue failure of the Roto-stop™ blade brake control assembly. This can allow the cutting blade to continue rotating after the blade control lever is released, posing a risk of injury to consumers.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Honda Lawn and Garden dealers will repair these mowers by replacing the Roto-stop™ mechanism.

Consumer Contact

To locate a servicing Honda Lawn and Garden dealer, consumers should call American Honda at (800) 426-7701 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or go to the website at www.hondapowerequipment.com
