Kubota recalls select mowers and compact tractors due to burn hazard.
Hot coolant can spray out onto operators from the overheated and pressurized coolant reservoir tank, posing a burn hazard. Kubota has received three reports of burn injuries from coolant ejecting, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall involves Kubota diesel and gasoline-powered zero-turn mowers, compact tractors and ride-on mowers from model years 2014 to 2018 with model numbers BX, GR, ZD and ZG.
The model number is printed on the side of the unit. The data plate has the serial number and is also located on the side of the unit.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and compact tractors and contact Kubota to receive a free replacement coolant reservoir tank cap.
