Hi to All, I just heard a whisper that Walker Mowers Australia have just received a memo from Head Office to remove the Vanguard engines from their MS 18 model and deliver them straight to a scrap dealer for immediate destruction. Paperwork and photos of this to be sent to Head Office on completion. It would be nice to know the reason for this, but one can guess..... This information is unsubstantiated at this time, but has come from reliable sources.

Hi Darryl that is some sort of recall, can't say I have ever heard of such a drastic recall, just destroy the engines. LRT was recently on about some motors not lasting long, bores going out of round etc

Thanks Norm for the reply, Yes mate it must be because of some problem with the build quality, or perhaps a catastrophic failure of some part (or parts) which may be damaging to the company's reputation.

Hi Darryl, any idea if the wisper is a Briggs direction or one from Walker themselves worried about their reputation?

Hi Norm, Not sure on that one mate, but one would think such a drastic move would have come from the engines parent company.

I assume that it would only be one of their Vanguard models, seems like they have a number of different models when I googled it up.
