American Honda Motors Recalls 6,150 Honda & Mantis Mini Tillers Over Engine Fuel Tank Rubber Grommet That Can Potentially Crack & Leak Fuel, Resulting In A Potential Fire Hazard.
A tool and equipment recall has been issued by American Honda Motor Co. (“American Honda Motor” or “American Honda” or “Honda”) recalling 6,150 Honda Mini Tillers (Model number FG110 with serial numbers GCALT 1696948 to 1700567) and Mantis Mini Tillers (Model numbers 7262 and 7270 with serial numbers GCART-1165215 to 1171495) with Honda GX25 mini four-stroke engines sold at Honda Power Equipment Dealers, The Home Depot, outdoor power equipment dealers, rental dealers, retailers, mail order and catalog houses nationwide from March 2010 through September 2010 for about $400, reportedly because a rubber grommet that is part of the engine’s fuel tank may crack and leak fuel, posing a fire hazard, according to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) tool and equipment recall news report.
Consumers are reportedly being asked to stop using the recalled Honda & Mantis mini tillers and to contact any Honda Power Equipment dealer or Honda Engine dealer (Mantis owners only) to arrange to have the fuel tank assembly replaced free of charge.
