The model and serial number of the mower can be found on an identification plate, on the left side of the frame in front of the fuel tank, below the operator's platform.
Why it was recalled
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.
Incidents and injuries
Excel has received two reports of incidents, where gasoline leaks were discovered. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop using these recalled riding mowers immediately and contact their local Hustler dealer to determine if their mower is included in the recall. The dealer will reroute the fuel line and replace it if necessary.
