Risk and measures

Risk or hazard
The voltage regulator in affected Kawasaki general purpose engines, installed in select Bobcat lawn mowers, can malfunction. The affected mowers can catch fire at any time, even if the engine is off or not in use. There is risk of serious injury, death and/or damage to property if the voltage regulator catches fire.
Recommendations
Stop using the affected mower until it has been repaired. Disconnect the negative battery cable and secure it away from the negative battery post. If you are unsure on how to disconnect the battery, see the battery disconnection instructions or contact your local Bobcat lawn mower dealer. Contact your local Bobcat lawn mower dealer to arrange repair. Repairs are expected to commence from mid-April 2024 when replacement voltage regulators become available.
