Thanks for the heads up.... :thumbsup: My blower is recalled too. Have had problems with the cap for a long time. Spilled some fuel that left a permanent stain on some roof shingles.

I can't help but wonder 2 things. How many leaky fuel caps caused fires in 9 years and why no chainsaws on that list?

I agree, but at least you can a new cap. Maybe they are just using that reason to fix the bad caps. I fight with mine on my blower every time I fuel up. I've had fuel spill all over me before because of it.
