The engines for these products had fuel lines that were too long and could possibly droop and come in contact with moving parts, which can cut the fuel lines, resulting in fuel leakage.
Consumers should stop using their lawn mowers until the fuel lines can be shortened. Registered owners should already have received a letter with enclosed instruction sheet and reply card for this modification. For a copy of an instruction sheet detailing the modification or for a free repair, contact your Exmark dealer or call Exmark. No parts are necessary for this modification.
