I was affected by recall, returned mine for store credit. I called around to some local power equipment shops and they had some that were repaired and ready to be sold. I picked one up and I can definitely say the machine is much easier to start than before. Glad I ended up with Honda mower, cut on my lawn looks great and mulching capabilities are awesome, feeding nutrients back into the lawn. Thanks Honda for standing behind your product.
Hey Average Joe
Thanks for the video update. I had this problem with my Honda HRX217 and the number did correspond with the recall. I went online and Honda directed me to a local repair shop and it was repaired in 48 hours.
Sure, no problem! Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe. I am happy to hear you got your unit repaired so quickly.
Thanks for this. I subscribed a couple of months ago just to follow this issue. My year-old HRX217 almost broke my hand when the pull rope handle was ripped out of my hand. First thing tomorrow I'll be calling my Honda dealer.
You are quite welcome! Thanks for watching! I am glad I was able to help.
put it on the tree lawn for trash pick up
Good luck !
thanks 4 the info I held my breath and entered serial# on the honda web site and I was able 2 breath again. Thanks again ,Ray
Sure, no problem. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe for more Honda mower videos.
Just checked and my HRN216 is not being recalled! Ran the serial # on the site. Thanks for all your help!
No problem! Thanks for watching! I am happy to hear your unit is not affected.
I purchased a HRX 217K6-HZA in July. The 3rd use and this cam issue occurred. I took it to my dealer and it was repaired in 5 days for free. Has worked flawlessly since. The entire mower is not the problem. The problem is that the decompression valve was not molded/cooled properly. Fantastic mower and im glad i opted for the fix instead of return.
I am glad I opted for the fix as well. You are correct…the entire mower is not the problem. I reported on the decompression valve in one of my earlier videos. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe.

junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh good, I purchased my 216 in 2019 and it’s 148 serial number isn’t affected, it’s only the later 200 plus serial numbers that are affected! Thx though for the information!❤
Sure, no problem. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe for more Honda mower content.
I have an HRN216 purchased in 2020. Has always started like crap, my 20 yr old Toro is a 1 to 2 pull starter even after sitting over the winter. I only run ethanol free fuel and change the oil every year. Unfortunately my Honda isn’t covered in this recall. I’d gladly give it back and get another TORO
I feel your pain. Have the same issues and mine is not being recalled.
Thanks! My HRX217 Is under the recall so I'll be making my call tomorrow. I have been lucky and my mower has not exhibited the problem yet (4 months old, used twice a week). So I hope they will let me "get in line" but allow me continue to use the mower until they are actually ready to do the work.
No problem! Thanks for watching! Hopefully, they will allow you to “get in line” and keep the unit they are ready to repair it. I don’t see why they wouldn’t, especially if they have your serial number on file. It’s probably up to the repairing dealer as to how they choose to handle it.
@@averagejoevideo9556 UPDATE: I called the Honda dealer. He seemed unaware there was a recall or even a problem with these units. But he was not a service technician, so 🤷. Anyway, he said I could not "get in line" as the technicians want the mower there immediately when they're ready to work on the unit. They don't even like to wait 30 minutes for the customer to deliver the unit. So I would have to drop the mower off and he said it would probably take weeks to get to it. I interpreted that to mean it could be up to a month. Since my mower (fingers crossed) still works I'm going to continue to use it and pray it doesn't break. Then I'll bring it in to be repaired after the mowing season is over. Hopefully, your other viewers can get quicker service then I was promised!
Thank you For updating us on this Honda issue. I want to share my thoughts and my experiencing that I'm having. I did get recalled repaired but I don't know if the valves has been adjusted and how would I know? I'm not a technician that's questionable second thing is that I've noticed with gas line valve in the off position I was able to run my mower for five days and noticed that it's possibly defective. Also I'm also noticing with the valve on of course it has encounter an idle issues, revving up and down possibly carburettor issue or something else with the recall Repair that's causing this issue. I've only had mines for about nine months. It's kept in the garage and clean no debris in the filter.etc I think Honda should've been changing out these lawnmowers or refunding the customers that are affected by these models that encounter too many issues
Bought my 216 in April, started it at least 70 times with no problems at all. The recall lists my frame S/N BUT the engine S/N isnt on the recall list. Like others, how do they really know if my unit is bad? I dont want to wait all winter to find out. Of course I didnt buy it from a dealer (Lowes), so it will be at the back of the repair line.
I just bought one HRX217VKAA , (BRAND NEW ON THE BOX , FROM A MARKETPLACE ON MY CITY FOR 500 BUCKS ) , so I said to me I will wait to the next year to set UP MY NEWTOY AFTER WINTER , and I'm here at 3.34am checking my serial number lol , HONDA SAID
RESULTS
There are currently no active recalls for your Power Equipment product.
SOOOO I will see later I HAVE TO TURN ON THE MOWER AND TEST HOW IS GOING
I am glad you found a new one for a good price. Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe.
Got one this past Saturday. HRX217HYA. Dealer near my home had 2 that were outside the serial range in the recall. Waited all Summer for this after stupidly selling my 18 year old HRX just to get a new one.
I am glad to hear that you got one! Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe.
Yep, I sold my 18 year old mower not long ago and I have regretted it since. I just picked up a HRX217 and I hope I can get another 18 years if not more. My last mower I hardly maintained it like I should have. I plan on making sure I take care of this new one the best I can. These are too expensive.
Never knew about the recall but took my GCV 200 back to the dealer because it was backfiring after restarting. Should have kept my 15 year old HRX!

Have a partial tare in my rotator cuff as a result of issue. First I’ve heard of recall. Will check serial number tomorrow and try to get it fixed
Sorry to hear about your injury. Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe for more Honda mower content.
I just bought a new one 4/24/24 at Home Depot, it’s a gcv 200 and they must have fixed it because when I put the serial number in, I don’t get any recalls.
That’s good to know! Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe for more Honda mower videos.
I wonder is this a faulty decompressor assembly?
Yes...the cam assembly has the decompressor on it. That is the component that is failing.
Thanks. I just bought one yesterday and it will be delivered Tuesday. I hope they fixed this. They shouldn't be selling them if it wasn't repaired already.

What was the issue
Doesn't matter now though because you can't even purchase any Hondas anymore. Crazy how the mighty has fallen.
You can’t purchase them due to the stop sale. Assuming they repair all of the new stock that’s affected, there should be some new units available eventually.
@@averagejoevideo9556 but they already said Sept 2%23 they are done.
So they may not put these back up for sale in the U. S.
Fallen into one of those woke companies
@@jeffb7255 no they just saw that many States are banning gas equipment like California. So unless you want to go green... convert everything to battery power, which i looks like Honda didn't. So they are bowing out.
Can you let us know if there are any lawsuits out there for this problem. I hurt my arm and shoulder pretty bad and have to go see a doctor.
Great info. Thank you. Look forward to more videos on your Honda HRX217 too.
I’ll be getting one as soon as my dealer has the parts to do the repair, so they can sell these again.
You are quite welcome! Thanks for watching!
Just bought my HRN216 12 hours ago. I go pick it up from the dealer tomorrow. Glad I came across this video. I wanted to pick it up in the box only but dealer was very insistent it be assembled by them. Reading further this only impacts American models and I am in Canada. Find it strange it would not effect Canadian models unless not made in same factory. I cannot lookup my serial number.
That is strange that it doesn’t apply to Canadian models. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe.
@@averagejoevideo9556 Canada must not have a CPSC to recall mowers, or they just haven't yet declared war on gasoline powered mowers.
@@averagejoevideo9556 Just used my mower 2 times and works perfected. Canada get's another batch for XYZ reason. Great mower compare to my Craftsman B&G 190cc 675 but to be expected at almost double the price. Mulching is better, a bit more power (1.5 more lb/ft of torque) and the deck is more rigid.
i am in Canada and got my mower fixed under the recall.... thing just about ripped my hand off!@@averagejoevideo9556
You make a great effort. Very informative, helpful.
The problem is with the HRX217 at least, the dreadful. fraudulent plastic NEXITE deck. These are degenerative and end up fracturing under 10 years rendering the alleged premium machine useless, dangerous and with no choice but to purchase another Nexite deck from Honda and rebuild the machine yourself. It happened to me last year with my 9 year old 2013 machine,
It's happened to many others.
Where's the recall for that degenerative material Nexite deck?? Where??
That sealed with me, how fraudulent low end, consumer over-priced Honda mowers are. Screw the myth of Honda. Buy a Scag or Toro. You will actually get 25 years of service from them with NO BROKEN DECKS. When the hell has that ever happened to you?
I have never had an issue with the Nexite deck, however my unit is still quite new. With that being said, I wonder if the deck issues are related to weathering and sun exposure. Obviously, I am not making excuses because a mower deck should be able to handle the elements, but I noticed most people experiencing problems have decks that are dramatically faded and worn. Possibly, this is just from everyday use.
Thanks. It is in fact from normal, everyday use. Use for which it most certainly should withstand the stresses of “elements and loads” shall we say, characteristic of a lawn mower, and does- for a limited time. Far, far too limited.
I am familiar with what you are describing- faded, scaly discolorations and “spider webs” in the plastic, hairline cracks starting in many places. It almost resembles chemical degeneration in spots in the plastic compound. Is it from cumulative small gas spills filling? Oil? Sun and elements? Should any of that matter and be called “outside influences” and except Honda from coverage liability? Do we go lenient on them because after all our steel deck machines cracked all the time due to sun, elements, condensation, gas spills?
Imagine the gall to expect them not to crack 7-9 years in?
The fact is you’ll find that it’s a great machine in a lot of ways, but you’ll use it, believe in it, sing its praises, buy official shop manuals and perform repair, buy carbs and rope pulls, give it its tlc believing it will be a 25-30 year machine, and then the deck will fracture well within 10 years. Now, it’s a disposable, maddening, otherwise running machine, and you’ll be jilted and have compounded aggravation, because the fracture itself being a fracture, Honda will deny warranty coverage. Has in fact already denied fractures before you bought the machine with a cute, buried exception clause in the “Lifetime Warranty”.
Have never heard of a deck issue before, I have had two HRX mowers, first about 12 years, second one is two years old, never saw any issue with deck. Know several folks with these mowers long term with no problems. Maybe there was a bad run of them that was limited, our dealer said he never heard of,any deck problems.
Thanks
Missed recall by about 30,000 serial numbers
That’s awesome! You have a good one then. I would hold on to it for as long as possible. They just don’t make things like they used to.
Are they replacing the cam ?
Yes!
@@averagejoevideo9556Do you have to have your receipt?
@@averagejoevideo9556ty, mine is not on bulletin.
I own a Honda HRX 217 mower .I’ve took notice the pull starter some times acts sloppy. Other than that it runs great. I bought the mower new from a Honda dealer. I’m sure they have everything on file . More likely I’ll get a recall notice.
You should get a recall notice, however who knows how long that will take? Personally, I would use the link I provided in the description to see if your unit is impacted. If so, I would be proactive and contact your local dealer to start the process.
@@averagejoevideo9556what's the reason for the recall to start with?
What is the actual recall issue. All that and no mention of problem?
If you check out my other Honda mower videos, I discuss it.

B/S should have recalled there defective camshaft also
So Honda is the Best Company Still…😊😊😊

Honda needs to recall and fix the oil leaking cam cover on these machines
That's why I'm here. Leaking out the front. I thought it was just the valve cover but I feel like it's the o ring on cam or something
Often times the front valve cover leaks because the sealant was not applied correctly. The front valve covers are single use only because when you try to remove them they bend very easily. With that being said, they are fairly inexpensive. You could try a new cover and purchase some Honda bond to ensure it’s sealed properly.
@@averagejoevideo9556 thank you sir
I thought it was normal I got the letter yesterday
I can understand why you thought it was normal. Many people have just adapted to having a starter rope that's harder to pull. I knew right away that something wasn't right because my older Honda HRR was very easy to pull, while my new HRX217 was nearly impossible. Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe.
Why the gear is made with plastic pvc and with the heat gets deformed melted the inside the engine and not only arrive the return of backfire and goes inside the carburetor from the Honda engine and from the carburetor goes to fuel tank you are screwed
The recall is for what? 🤷
Not affected
Awesome! Glad to hear it. At least everyone is now able to check and see if their unit is affected.
More content like this? What is the recall? Lol
RED ALERT. This recall is suspicious. I've had my HRN216 since June 2022. Best mower I've ever had. It has worked flawlessly. Have any of these mowers actually failed? Has anyone actually been hurt by one of these mowers? The recall information is confusing. My mower serial number is within the range of recalled serial numbers. The recall notice states that not all serial numbers in the affected range are actually affected. The notice also lists the GVC-170 Engine serial number ranges that are affected and mine is not one of them. I called Honda and they say that if my mower is in the affected range it must be repaired and would not delve into the engine serial numbers. I suspect the CPSC is participating in the federal government's war on gasoline powered mowers. Is this an insidious scheme to force a Honda out of the lawnmower business by recalling 400,000 mowers that might possibly maybe cause an injury? Honda's cost to fix the mower surely wipes out the profit margin and it might even be more than the purchase price.
I personally experienced the problem with my unit. (Check out the other videos on my channel.). With that being said, fortunately I did not get injured but some other comments in the earlier videos confirm that people were injured. It is my understanding that Honda only pays a flat rate to shops that repair the issue. I don’t know that I would say that they will lose all profit on the repair. The repair rates are not that lucrative and the part is not that expensive for Honda when it’s mass produced. Again…just my thoughts on the issue. Keep in mind that Honda already planned to exit the gas lawn mower business in the US as of this year. This was prior to any stop sale or recall.
The recall states over 2200 failures reported and 7 injuries, according to a reading of the recall on another mower channel.
I’m in the same boat where mower serial number is in the affected range but engine serial number is not. I haven’t had any issues and I really don’t want some knucklehead tearing into the engine if it’s not necessary.
@@M.A.T.T.A.L.I.A.N.OI share your thoughts EXACTLY … although I’m always mindful of the situation when starting the engine.
I’m a tech with a Deere dealer that sells Honda……..the recall involves running s/n in Honda data base and if it is suspect, performing inspection………it goes by date camshaft was manufactured….you have to to completely disassemble engine, removing piston cylinder and crankshaft, remove camshaft , flip camshaft over and decipher manufacturing date of camshaft….if before 07/23……replace camshaft…if after, just reassemble, kind of a time consuming project
