  1. No one hurt

    Made Mar 22, 2026, sent to the company Mar 25, 2026, published by CPSC Apr 8, 2026

    The product, in the report: Harbor Freight PREDATOR Model 57341 52cc2-stroke gasoline AUGER Power Head. I recycled the box so I returned to H F and obtained the SKU and UPC code strip off of an IN-STOCK unit on the shopping floor. Color mostly red.

    Bought auger unit 57341 new from Harbor Freight (Jasper IN 47546) Fall of 2025. Used for 20 minutes and set for storage over Winter. Fill fuel per #2. instructions in owners manual. Fuel evaporated and refueled to use. NO AUGER MOUNTED. Yanked the pull starter rope....Power head sorta stayed with the pull rope. Got splashed with 2-cycle fuel mix on shirt and shorts. Fortunately the gas DID NOT light off and make me a crispy critter. The unit has a Mfg. date pf June 2024. Chased the fuel leak to a rotten fuel line tank grommet that did not seal. Seen this before on [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] repair parts fuel lines. Rubber attacked by gasoline. Also had [REDACTED] aftermarket fuel pumps rubber guts melt down within 5 hours run time. Similar to [REDACTED] fuel tank RECALL.
