Hazard
Excessive heat, vibrations and wear causes the fuel line to droop over time and rub against the transmission fan, causing the fuel line to be cut. This poses a fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries to consumers.
Injuries
Excel has received two reports of incidents, where gasoline leaks were discovered. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Where it was sold
- Authorized Hustler dealers sold these riding mowers nationwide, from November 2001 through May 2002, for between $4,700 and $5,500.
