A recall was issued for about 2.3 million gas powered STIHL Inc. trimmers, brush cutters, KombiMotors, hedge trimmers, edgers, clearing saws, pole pruners and backpack blowers. The products pose a burn and fire hazard because the level of ethanol and other fuel additives can distort the toolless fuel cap causing fuel to spill.
There have been 81 reports of difficulty installing and/or removing the fuel caps and fuel spillage. The products were sold at authorized STIHL dealers nationwide from July 2002 through May 2011 for between $190 and $650.
Consumers should immediately stop using these products.
