Warranty coverage and recall alerts should follow the mower to your garage - not stay with the person who bought it.
When a lawn mower is given as a gift, the warranty and recall notifications follow the registration - not the physical equipment. If the gift-giver registered the mower in their name (or the retailer auto-registered it), all safety and warranty communications go to someone who no longer owns the mower.
This is particularly important for riding mowers and zero-turn mowers, which carry multi-year warranties and can be subject to recalls for deck, blade, and fuel system hazards.
Find the serial number on the mower (push mowers: frame near engine; riding mowers: under seat or engine housing). Visit the brand website or Bawte and register with your name, email, and approximate purchase date. If the mower was previously registered, contact the brand to request a transfer.
A riding mower is a serious investment. Register it in your name so warranty service and recall alerts follow you, not the gift-giver.
