A lawn-mower recall may cover a selected mower, battery, charger, blade-control system, engine, or drive component. Identify both the mower and any separately labeled part before comparing the model and serial boundaries in the CPSC notice.
Identify the mower class and power system
Start by recording whether the product is walk-behind, riding, zero-turn, robotic, corded electric, battery-powered, or gasoline-powered. Then collect:
- Brand, full model, and serial
- Manufacture or date code
- Deck size or series when used by the notice
- Battery and charger model for cordless equipment
- Engine or attachment number when separately identified
Find labels without relying on appearance
Placement differs by product. Check the frame, rear housing, deck area, battery compartment, under-seat label, manual, or purchase record as appropriate. Use the manufacturer’s manual when a label location is not obvious. A paint color or marketing name is not enough.
Search the mower and its parts
Use the CPSC recall database for the exact mower model. Run separate searches for a removable battery, charger, engine, or accessory when it has its own model number. Open the detailed notice and compare its photographs and model table.
A model family and an affected serial range are different
Confirm whether the notice covers every unit of a model or only stated serials and dates. Preserve prefixes, suffixes, and leading zeros. A component campaign should not be expanded to every mower that can accept a similar-looking part.
Leave the repair method to the current notice
If the product matches, follow the exact stop-use and repair instructions and use the named dealer or manufacturer route. Do not improvise a blade-control, electrical, or battery repair. If nothing matches, the search does not certify the mower; contact the maker or report an incident through SaferProducts.gov.
General federal-record steps are explained in the CPSC product recall check.
