Husqvarna Grass Trimmer Class Action Lawsuit – Settlement Details & FAQs

Husqvarna has reportedly agreed to settle a class action lawsuit involving certain gas-powered grass trimmers, including models 130C, 130L, and 330LK, which were recalled in February 2024 due to a potential fire hazard caused by allegedly defective wiring in the ignition module. The recall, issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), highlighted that the defect could increase the risk of fire if the trimmer was in operation. This recall potentially affected thousands of homeowners and garden tool users nationwide, raising concerns about the safety of gas-powered equipment in everyday use.

The settlement aims to compensate owners who may have been affected by the recall while ensuring that all units are safely repaired. Eligible owners who purchased one of the recalled trimmers on or before November 13, 2023, and complete the free recall repair through an authorized Husqvarna dealer, may be entitled to a $45 voucher. In addition, the settlement offers warranty extensions to provide extra assurance to trimmer owners, helping them avoid unexpected repair costs.

Settlement Benefits in Detail

The Husqvarna settlement does not create a single cash fund. Instead, eligible owners may be entitled to the following benefits if they complete the recall repair at an authorized dealer:

• $45 voucher per eligible trimmer.
• One-year extension of the limited product warranty for trimmers repaired within one year of October 3, 2025.
• Three-year extension of warranty for parts and labor, specifically for the ignition module on repaired trimmers.
• Payment of notice and administration costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and a service award for the class representative (subject to court approval).

This combination of financial incentive and extended warranty coverage provides both reassurance and tangible compensation to affected trimmer owners. It also emphasizes the importance of responding promptly to product recalls, which can prevent potential accidents and ensure long-term product reliability.

How to Claim Your $45 Voucher

1. Complete the CPSC recall repair at an authorized Husqvarna dealer between October 3, 2025, and January 2, 2026.
2. Submit a claim form online by January 2, 2026.

Your claim form must include:

• Proof of repair
• Contact details

Each eligible trimmer can qualify for one voucher. It’s important to note that those who already had the recall repair performed before October 3, 2025, or who purchased the trimmer for resale, are not eligible for the voucher. If approved by the court, vouchers will be distributed after final approval and claim processing.

Additional Considerations for Owners

Owners are encouraged to act promptly, as repairs must be completed within the specified timeframe to qualify for benefits. Participating in the recall ensures that any potential fire risk is eliminated and that the trimmer remains safe for long-term use. Husqvarna dealers are equipped to handle repairs efficiently, often completing them within a short period, and the company has committed to honoring the warranty extensions for qualifying trimmers.

For those who may have noticed unusual performance issues with their trimmers—such as difficulty starting or intermittent sparks—the recall repair may address these problems directly. Even if no visible defects are present, completing the recall repair provides peace of mind and protects property and personal safety.

Why This Settlement Matters

This class action highlights the importance of safety standards in consumer products, especially gas-powered tools. Husqvarna’s response, with free repairs and extended warranties, underscores a commitment to both compliance and customer safety. 

For consumers, it serves as a reminder to register products, respond promptly to recalls, and ensure repairs are performed by authorized dealers. Taking part in the settlement not only provides financial benefits but also reduces the risk of accidents and property damage. Homeowners can feel confident that their trimmer is safe to use for years to come.
