1° alkyl halide follows only S_N2 hydrolysis mechanism. 
          there are two reason, 1° alkyl halide follow S_N2 hydrolysis reaction. 
   (1) 1° substrate have little steric hindrance or steric crowding  to nucleophilic attack :- as you know that more the number of alkyl groups are added to the α-Carbon atom, the substrate becomes less capable to S_N2 attack. here 1° alkyl halide has only one alkyl group. thats why it has capable to S_N2 reaction.

(2) 1° Carbocation is relatively unstable :- increasing the number of alkyl group , increases the stability of carbocation. here 1° alkyl group  has only one alkyl group . so, comparetively it is less stable. hence, it is hardly to form 1° carbocation by S_N1 reaction. instead  it will prefer S_N2 reaction and avoid the formation of unstable carbocation.
