The product, in the report: Honda Snowblower

I have a Honda Snowblower that after using it for the first time this winter and shutting off the gas to it, we came out the next day to gasoline on the floor of the garage and a very strong smell of gasoline fumes. The fuel was leaking around the fuel tank joint O-ring.
After doing some research, I found that this model of Honda snowblower had been recalled although it was not in the affected frame serial number range, even though it was manufactured within the time frame of the defective ones.
According to Honda, even products that are affected by the recall, if they are out of warranty they, will have to be repaired at the owners expense. To me that is not a very safe situation, I could just sell it without disclosing the problem and have someone else with a dangerous situation.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/17/2014) American Honda Motor Co., Inc.: American Honda takes matters such as these very seriously, as customer safety and satisfaction are top priorities. The servicing dealer – who ultimately installed replacement parts at no charge to the customer – kept the affected parts and American Honda was able to examine them to determine the potential cause of the fuel leak. The scope of the prior recall of Honda snow blowers was based on specific manufacturing records and design issues, and was remedied on the production line by application of countermeasures. Upon examination, the customer’s fuel joint did not display any of the conditions seen in fuel joints affected by the prior recall, even though the ultimate symptom (fuel leak) was the same. Instead, the customer’s fuel joint showed discoloration and the presence of scale debris on the filter and sealing area of the joint, both of which indicate long-term contact with stale fuel. The o-ring itself, however, did not appear to have any tears, defects, or malformations. Indeed, when the joint was installed into an exemplar tank and properly torqued/set, American Honda was not able to reproducing leaking. When combined with the lack of any data in American Honda records indicating a fuel joint defect trend, including other reports of leaking snow blowers, it is American Honda’s conclusion that the customer’s fuel joint and o-ring do not have any manufacturing or design defects, and that the fuel leak experienced by the customer may have been precipitated by other factors.

The product, in the report: Honda snowblower HS624

I have Honda snowblower HS624 that leaks fuel from the fuel filter and I noticed that another consumer was complaining about this same thing. My HS624 leaked fuel all over my garage floor and it could have been very dangerous situation for me and my family. I also saw from that same report (20120206-98E63-2147470528) that Honda had a recall for HS724 snowblowers for the same problem. If these are the same parts used in that HS724 why isn’t the ones in the HS624 replaced? Are they waiting for some serious situation to happen.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/7/2014) American Honda Motor Co., Inc.: Honda’s records indicate that this unit has been in service for over 13 years. Based on this amount of time in service without maintenance to the fuel system, Honda strongly recommends that the owner have their snow blower inspected by a Honda dealer as soon as possible. The fuel system, including the rubber fuel delivery hoses and fuel filter should be routinely inspected for deterioration according to the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual. Because the fuel filter performed without problem for as many years, it is highly unlikely that the leak is the result of a defect or has any relation to the recall that affects other models manufactured more recently.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/23/2012) American Honda Motor Co., Inc.: Honda is sorry to learn of this owner’s experience and encourages that the snowblower be taken to a Honda Power Equipment dealer for a proper diagnosis. In reviewing our records of complaints on the HS624 model we were only able to identify one complaint of a leaking fuel tank joint and based on the date of that complaint we believe it to be the same snowblower identified here. This particular snowblower was purchased over 10 years ago and based on the maintennace schedule should have had the fuel tank joint removed and reinstalled at least two times in order to service the fuel tank strainer. At the time of the call, the owner had not taken the snowblower to a dealer.
