The UK’s Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued a product recall for Top Cowl Assembly in Mercury Marine V6 and V8 outboard engines, which present a risk of injuries.

The product has been recalled due to the potential for fingers to enter the top cowl air vents on some engine models.

To prevent this, Mercury Marine is offering a bezel assembly to cover the top cowl air vents. Installation of the bezel assembly is required on all sold and unsold products.

Mercury Marine says it has contacted all registered owners advising them of the issue and that they should contact an authorised dealer to schedule a service appointment to enable the bezel assembly to be fitted.

End users and owners of the products are advised to visit the Product Safety Alerts page on the Gov.UK website for further information on the models affected.
