What's the Problem?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission [1], this recall affects red and black Craftsman 30” mini and Troy-Bilt TB30 riding lawn mowers, which were manufactured from July 20, 2021 through December 17, 2022, and have serial numbers 1G20MB20001 through 1L17MB20228.
"The riding mowers can fail to come to a complete stop and continue to move at a speed of about one mile per hour when the clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed, posing a low speed crash hazard," CPSC said.
The month and year of manufacture on the recalled mowers are found on the model plate label under the heading DOM for Date of Manufacture. The third and fourth characters of the serial number identify the manufacturing day.
The date of manufacture, the serial number, which includes the full manufacture date, and the following model or SKU numbers can be found on the model plate label on the bottom of the seat pan:
