Reason for Recall
The throttle trigger may stick after it has been released by the operator, which could cause the engine to continue to run at a speed that drives the saw chain. This can pose a risk of a laceration injury to the user or a bystander.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop using these chain saws immediately and return them to an authorized STIHL dealer for a free repair.
