Got a card with an upgrade notice in the mail today for my mower. It sounds like a recall. Mentions campaign SB536. Anyone know what it is?

I can't get to my mower to check serial numbers, so im not sure if it's for my fastrak or old raptor sd.

Or is it some sort of sales tactic?

I tried to look it up but all I got was the same question on 2 other lawn mower forums, to me SB means service bulletin.
Have you called your dealer to see what they know ?

It's most likely Garbage/Trash. I don't think it means service bulletin, seeing it mentions campaign before SB 536 it sounds more likely to have something to do with Senate Bill 536. Sounds like someone is pulling a prank to me.

Hustler responded to my question on Facebook to say:
The tension arm has been redesigned to increase the tension arm's life expectancy. Contact the dealer listed on your card to make an appointment.

I still need to check my serial number to see if this is for my current Fastrak or my former Raptor SD. I think it's for the Fastrak.

It is actually a recall and is required. It is the installation of a beefed up (stronger) idler arm kit.
