In voluntary cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), REDMAX / KOMATSU ZENOAH AMERICA, INC. is recalling backpack blower models EB6200, EB7000 and EB7001 produced from 1999 to present. The muffler support bracket may fatigue at the muffler body causing an opening in the muffler body. As a result, hot exhaust gases can be directed toward the fuel tank, which may result in damage to the fuel tank. This creates a potential fire and burn hazard.
  • If you own one of these units, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and bring the unit into your dealership to have the muffler replaced and related parts inspected.
  • Blower(s) will be repaired at no charge to owners.
Dealers please refer to Technical Service Bulletin S0603-01 for detailed warranty and repair instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns please call toll free 1-866-217-4152
