STIHL has recalled about 47,800 BR 800 Magnum backpack blowers (models X and C-E) because the internal fan wheel can break apart while in use. If the wheel shatters, pieces can be thrown from the machine, creating a risk of cuts and lacerations to the user or bystanders. These gray and orange gasoline-powered blowers were sold at authorized STIHL dealers nationwide between May 2025 and September 2025. Consumers should stop using the blower and take it to a dealer for a free fan wheel replacement.
The internal fan wheel can experience a structural failure and break into sharp fragments during operation. These fragments can be ejected from the blower housing, posing a serious laceration hazard to the operator or anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled STIHL BR 800 backpack blower and bring it to an authorized STIHL servicing dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the fan wheel.
Serial number is located on a label on the blower tube.
