Reported risk: The recall involves walk-behind rotary lawn mowers with model number MR216015T. All of the recalled units have Tecumseh engines. Serial numbers are located on a silver label on the rear of the deck behind the engine as indicated by an arrow in the image. Hazards: Lawn mowers that have a serial number beginning with a 0 may exhibit improper blade retention that could injure the operator or a bystander, if the blade separates from the mower's housing. In addition, all Snapper mowers purchased after January 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 11020001 and 11024924, may have crankshafts that also adversely affect blade retention and require modification by a Snapper dealer.
