Fortunately, no chainsaws?

I think it's only the homeowner models, not the pro models, that are affected.

Glad my FS240 isn't on the list. It has already been tested for gas leaks since I forgot to put the cap back on after filling. Couldn't figure out why it stopped running until I looked down and all the gas had spilled out.

Luckily I didn't become a human torch ... even Stihl can't fix STUPID!
