Murray recalls more than 93,000 lawn tractors

Officials with Brentwood-based Murray Inc. said in a statement that they had received two complaints of fires caused by the problem but no reports of injury.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the 1.4 gallon tank that is remote-mounted on several models sold can develop cracks allowing fuel to leak.

The 40- and 42-inch-cut lawn tractors were sold from 1997 to 2002 at stores across the nation, including The Home Depot, for $859 to $1,259 each.

The model numbers are 40507X8, 42504X71, 42512X99, 425610X99, 40536X4, 42504X99, 42542X6, 425612X99, 405618X81, 42510, 42543X6 and 42575X81.

Consumers should stop using the lawn tractors immediately and contact a Murray Service Center to have a free replacement fuel tank installed.

Buyers can call Murray at (800) 316-1073 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT weekdays.
