Hazard
The recalled mower decks cannot be secured in the upright or tilted position by the locking pins during maintenance or service, posing a crush hazard.
Incidents & Injuries
The firm is aware of five incidents where the locking pins were unable to be installed to secure the deck in the upright or tilted position. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy Instructions
Consumers should immediately inspect and determine whether locking pins can be inserted while the deck is in the upright or tilted position during maintenance or service. Contact Doosan Bobcat North America or a Bobcat dealer to obtain a free repair, which will be available in the near future. Until then, if the locking pins cannot be inserted, obtain two straps, each rated for 1,500 lbs., and wrap a strap around each front tractor axle, securing each strap to the mower deck when performing service or maintenance. Consumers should contact Doosan if they are unable to obtain straps, and straps will be provided at no cost to the consumer. Doosan Bobcat North America is contacting all known purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Inspect, New Instructions, Repair) at no cost to you.
Yes. If you were injured by a defective consumer product — whether recalled or not — you may have grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer and potentially the retailer. A recall notice can serve as evidence that the manufacturer was aware of the defect. Injuries that may support a claim include burns, lacerations, fractures, electric shock, choking incidents, and chemical exposure. Most product liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. Consult an attorney promptly, as statutes of limitation vary by state.
In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.
If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
