Reason for Recall
These chain saws can leak fuel, posing a fire hazard. A connection in the ignition grounding system could loosen and create a spark, posing a fire hazard. Also the springs in the clutch assembly could come out of position, allowing a spring of the clutch to be projected from the saw housing, resulting in injury to the user.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop using these chain saws immediately and return them to an authorized Stihl dealer for a free repair.
