American Honda Motor is recalling replacement engines for Honda lawnmowers and pressure washers because of defective camshafts in the engine. This can cause the starter rope to retract on its own while the user is pulling on it, which can result in a variety of injuries.<\/p>\n

This recall is an expansion on a previous recall (September 2023) for American Honda lawnmower and power washer engines. The recall is for the GCV170\/200 G5B general purpose replacement engine for power washers and for Honda HRN216 and HRX217K6 Lawnmowers. Click here<\/a><\/u> for instructions on how to locate the model and serial number for your lawnmower or pressure washer.<\/p>\n

Please note that American Honda has received more than 4,000 reports of defective camshafts in the recalled engines, starting from the original recall in September 2023. So far, we know of 38 cases where people were injured, so you should stop using your power washer or lawnmower if it was equipped with the recalled replacement engine. The manufacturer is asking consumers<\/a> to contact them directly, so that a free inspection and repair service can be arranged.<\/p>\n
