🚨 STIHL BR 800 OWNERS, CHECK YOUR BLOWERS BEFORE LEAF SEASON!
If you're running a STIHL BR 800, there's a recall you need to know about.
STIHL recalled approximately 47,800 BR 800 backpack blowers because the fan wheel inside can break apart, creating a serious laceration hazard.
And with leaf cleanup season here, the last thing you need is a blower failing in the middle of a job.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO CHECK:
Affected models:
- STIHL BR 800 X Magnum
- STIHL BR 800 C-E Magnum
Affected serial numbers:
546515117 through 547916107
You can find the serial number on the label attached to the blower tube.
WHAT IF YOURS IS ON THE LIST?
If it hasn't already been repaired under the recall, STOP USING IT.
Take it to an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. They'll inspect it and replace the affected fan wheel for FREE.
This recall was originally announced in November 2025, but that doesn't mean every affected blower has been fixed.
A lot of contractors run these machines hard during leaf season.
Take two minutes to check yours before putting it back to work.
WHO'S STILL RUNNING A STIHL BR 800?
And if you've already dealt with this recall, how was the repair process?
