    Hi John

    Thanks for using the Answer Army to post your questions.

    There is not a recall on this model, recalls are for safety issues. What is happening is that the carburetors are set very lean to make the EPA emissions satandards. It is only a concern in the colder climates, in the warmer climates there is not a problem. We are being told that they should be back in the stores and online by the second week of december. By the way for all of the dealers in the warmer regions are loving this machine.

    Keep on the look out for this unit to come back soon.

    Thanks again for contacting Husqvarna.

      No answer yet. The stories are floating around at the dealers however. One said they did not do enough testing and the was an overheating problem and they were burning pistons. Another said is was a carburetor problem.

      Hopefully Husqvarna will answer before too many bad stories get out.
