The recall flyer had a pretty picture of HS1132. Fire would be a bad news. One guy selling his HS1132 via eBay said that he had a leaky tank that required repair. Sounds like it was a recall issue but the seller said he paid for the new tank and fuel line prior to eBay transaction. NewYorer: It would be bad if something bad happends to your blower (your pride and joy)! Hopefully all is good. Honda will back up their product it's in their best interest, but they won't tell you about it you'll have to ask. They won't put the stall kit on the carb unles you specifically have a problem. THAT ticked me off. If there is a problem why only fix units that have it? Why wait until it breaks?! Crazy!
"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England." "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."

My HS928TA falls into this category (unfortunately). I just called my local Honda dealer and was told that all costs are covered, including pick up and return delivery costs. The bad part is that after this last blizzard they can't pick it up for a week and the repair time is estimated at between 1 - 2 weeks - YIKES!!! I think I'll have to keep an eye on the forecast before I decide to move forward with the repair now or wait a little bit.
