Toro TimeCutter
Toro has recalled about 8,600 (in addition, about 400 were sold in Canada) 2015 Toro TimeCutter Riding Mowers.
The fuel filters on the mowers can become brittle and fractured, allowing fuel to leak and posing a fire hazard.
The firm has reported five incidents of fuel leaking. No injuries have been reported.
The mowers were manufactured in the U.S. and sold at Home Depot and other hardware, lawn and garden stores nationwide from November 2014 through October 2015 for about $3,400.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mowers and contact the nearest Toro dealer to schedule a free repair. Consumers with registered machines will receive a letter and a fuel filter, and may contact a Toro Dealer if they are uncomfortable with the replacement procedure.
