Hazard

Hot exhaust gases can then escape from the muffler and could melt the fuel tank or ignite grease, oil or debris around the fuel tank, posing a fire hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the backpack blowers immediately and contact Husqvarna for a dealer location nearest to them to schedule a free inspection and a free repair, if necessary.
