Stihl recalls chainsaws
Stihl Inc., USA in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled approximately 23,500 MS 192 T chain saws. 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.
The units affected have model number MS 192 T, located on the side of the chain saw’s starter housing. They include serial numbers 264371702 through 266087005, which is located on the top/front of the chain saw’s housing.
Consumers should stop using these chain saws immediately and contact Stihl Inc. at (800) 610-6677 between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit Stihl’s Web site at www.stihlusa.com.
