This recall involves two models of grey coloured Honda Lawnmowers with date codes between 11/9/2022 and 5/25/2023.  The company reported that 7,921 units of the affected products were sold in Canada.

The improperly manufactured camshafts in the engines can cause the starter rope to suddenly retract when pulling to start, posing an injury hazard.

The model and serial number are printed on a label located on the upper rear of the mower deck.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Honda Lawnmowers and contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. Honda is contacting all known purchasers directly.
