Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120501-AFB4D-1246306. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Honda Harmony II Lawn Mower M# HRT2162TDA (Honda Harmony II Lawn Mower). Incident: Leaking gas tank from the Honda Harmony II lawn mower may cause fire hazard: I picked up the lawn mower after tune up at a local shop on April 6, 2012. During transit, I smelled gasoline smell in the car and I opened all the windows. At home, during lawn mowing the smell continued so I stopped and checked the lawn mower. It took me a while to figure out that the gas was leaking from the lawn mower's gas tank. I took the lawn mower back for service and they confirmed that the leak was indeed from the gas ank. I left lawn mower for the replacement of the gas tank. They ordered a new gas tank and a new Honda gas tank was installed and I picked up the lawn mower on April 13, 2012. Please note that this lawn mower has 50-100 hours of usage due to my illness. There were no injuries.
