Affected model numbers
HRB216TXAHRB216HXACheck the product label for these CPSC-listed model numbers: HRB216TXA, HRB216HXA.
Why it was recalled
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.
Incidents and injuries
American Honda has received six reports of broken stop plates. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Official remedy
Honda Lawn and Garden dealers will repair these mowers by replacing the Roto-stop™ mechanism.
