No one hurt Made Oct 17, 2012, sent to the company Oct 25, 2012, published by CPSC Nov 8, 2012
The product, in the report: This is a rebranded Kawasaki blower model KRB-750. Motor is the same exact one as the Kawasaki - motor model TK65. Gas tank also is made by Kawasaki - specifically for John Deere. Same problem with the tank splitting at the seam and spilling gas.
I have a John Deere backpack blower - Model BP6LE. It is a rebranded Kawasaki backpack blower with the TK65 67cc motor. The Kawasaki had issues with the gas tank leaking and creating a fire hazard and a recall for Kawasaki was issued. My backpack blower also has the same problem of a leaking fuel tank, causing a very dangerous and unsafe situation.
I called John Deere - and they responded that since there was no recall in place for the BP65LE, that I was out of luck. Even though the blower is nothing more than a rebranded Kawasaki blower - which has been recalled along with other rebranded blowers such as those by [REDACTED] - John Deere would not offer to fix or rectify the issue.
