Craftsman Lawn Tractors Recalled

July 8, 2009
Husqvarna is recalling about 8,200 Craftsman lawn tractors. The tractor’s parking brake can fail posing a loss of control hazard.

The recalled tractor is gray colored, has 19.5 HP engine, automatic drive, and a 42 inch cutting deck. The following model and serial numbers are included in the recall. The model and serial numbers are located on a model plate under the tractor’s seat.

The tractors, made in the U.S., were sold by Sears and Kmart stores nationwide and on the Web at www.sears.com from January 2009 through April 2009 for about $1,200.

Consumers should stop using the recalled tractors immediately and contact Sears for a free inspection at your home and, if necessary, a free repair of the parking brake cable. Sears is directly contacting consumers who purchased this product.
