STIHL is recalling about 16,400 spray wands supplied with the RE 90 Pressure Washer. The spray wand can disconnect from the main unit while under pressure, potentially causing the nozzle to detach and strike the user or bystanders. STIHL has received seven reports of the nozzle detaching during use, though no injuries have been reported. These units are gray and orange, were sold at authorized STIHL dealers from May 2019 through October 2019, and can be identified by the 'STIHL RE 90' label on the front.
The interchangeable nozzle can suddenly eject from the 15-inch spray wand during operation. This pose a physical injury hazard to anyone in the immediate vicinity if they are struck by the flying component while the machine is under high pressure.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure washers and contact STIHL or an authorized STIHL servicing dealer to receive a free replacement spray wand.
