What you should do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snow blowers until they have been repaired. Consumers are advised to contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer to make an appointment to have the fuel tank joint replaced free of charge.
If the snow blower is leaking gasoline, immediately move the snow blower outside and away from possible ignition sources, such as heaters or electrical appliances. Do not refill the fuel tank.
