    The product, in the report: Cultivator Edger Brand - Sears Craftsman Model # 316.292710 4 Cycle Cultivator/Edger Serial # 1D04DD0408 Item # 21AS144R799

    The consumer says that the drive shaft housing which is the only connector between motor assembly and gear box assembly ripped in two allowing for the motor to flop around on the top.

    The consumer says this would allow gas and oil allowing to spoil over a hot muffler.

    The consumer contacted the retailer who said there is no recall. there are other several parts (plastic and foam) that is in the way so you cannot really see whats happening unless thoroughly inspected.
