Thousands of Popular Mowers Sold in Idaho Recalled Due to Fires

Depending on who you are, mowing the lawn may not be your favorite chore. Riding lawn mowers can make cutting the grass a little more fun. Unfortunately, more than 68,000 are being recalled due to risk of burn and fire hazards.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission recently posted an urgent recall for mowers sold by some of the most well known brands in the country. The units sold by Bad Boy Mowers, BigDog, Bobcat, Cub Cadet, Hustler, John Deere and Kubota all use a Kawasaki Engine that’s been known to overheat. This could lead to potential fire danger and burn hazards. A total of 68,500 mowers, including ones sold in Idaho and California are part of the recall.

Before you say “but wait, you can’t buy gas powered mowers in California” anymore, understand that the affected units were sold from April 2021 through December 2023. That was before California’s “Green Lawn Care Law” banning the sale of gas-powered lawn went into effect on January 1, 2024.
