Kawasaki Motors recalled more than 33,000 lawn mower engines as fuel can leak from the engines, causing a fire hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website published the recall March 23. It applies to about 33,100 Kawasaki FT730V-EFI Lawn Mower Engines.
According to the company, the high-pressure fuel line on the engines can get damaged by contact with the fuel pump cover, causing a fuel leak that poses burn and fire hazards.
So far, Kawasaki received four reports of incidents involving the high-pressure fuel lines leaking, including one fire, it says. No injuries have been reported.

Recalled mower engines to be repaired, Kawasaki says
The recall involves Kawasaki engines used in riding lawn mowers sold under the Ferris brand name with mower models IS 700Z ZTR, ISX 800Z ZTR and ISX 2200Z ZTR and under the SCAG brand name with mower models Tiger Cat II and V- Ride II.
The recalled engines are model year 2018 through 2022 Kawasaki FT730V-EFI series, and “Kawasaki FT730V EFI” is printed on the engine air filter cover.
“Consumers should immediately stop using mowers with the recalled engines and contact Kawasaki or a Kawasaki dealer to schedule a free repair,” the company says. Kawasaki is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Kawasaki sold the recalled engines at Kawasaki, Ferris and SCAG dealers nationwide from November 2017 through September 2022 for between $8,000 and $13,000.
In 2020, Kawasaki recalled multiple off-highway utility vehicles over a potential crash hazard and a potential oil leak and fire hazard.
