STIHL has identified that certain BR 800 blower fan wheels, within a specific serial number range, may not meet the required mould specifications. Over time, this deviation could result in fan wheel failure, posing a potential risk of injury to users or bystanders.
As a responsible manufacturer, STIHL has initiated a recall of the potentially affected units to ensure they are inspected and reworked as necessary.
The fan wheel in affected units may fail, which could result in breakage. This may lead to fragments being ejected from the blower, posing a risk of injury to the operator or bystanders.
Risk of injury from lacerations or cuts if the fan wheel in affected units fails and the operator or a bystander gets hit by ejected fragments.
