    Hi Paul

    Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

    The problem was that due to the air volume that these units move, under certain conditions, when the leaves were blown up around the engine housing, the leaves would get sucked into the mesh of the housing and restrict the cooling air flow over the unit. This would cause them to overheat. They have spent many hours testing the resolution of this problem, and have issued the bulletin for the correction.

    From what I understand the factory now has a fix and will be redistributing them soon.

     Thanks again from the Husqvarna Technical Services Team.
