Stihl BF-KM Mini-Cultivator KombiSystem attachment recall (CPSC Fast Track)

## Affected accessory This bulletin covers the Stihl **BF-KM Mini-Cultivator**, an attachment for the Stihl KombiSystem multi-task tool platform. The BF-KM converts a Stihl KombiMotor (KM-series powerhead) into a small cultivator/tiller for soil work. ## Issue This recall was conducted voluntarily by Stihl under **CPSC's Fast Track Recall process**. Fast Track recalls are initiated by manufacturers who commit to work with CPSC to quickly announce a recall and remedy to protect consumers, in exchange for streamlined CPSC review. The Fast Track process typically results in a published Stihl recall page rather than a full CPSC press release with detailed unit counts and incident statistics. As a result, the public detail on the BF-KM recall is more limited than typical CPSC announcements. Owners should consult the live Stihl recall page for the current technical description of the defect and the precise affected production scope. ## What to do 1. Identify any Stihl BF-KM Mini-Cultivator attachment. 2. Consult the live Stihl recall page at https://www.stihlusa.com/safety/recalls/bf-km-recall to confirm whether your unit is in the affected scope. 3. If in scope, take the attachment to an authorized Stihl dealer for the published remedy. 4. Contact Stihl Inc. at (800) 233-4729 or email stihlrecall@stihl.us with questions. ## Hazard Severity is rated **warning** by default for a CPSC Fast Track recall on an accessory attachment without a published high-injury-rate hazard description. Owners should re-check the Stihl recall page for the current authoritative description of the specific defect mode. ## Related bulletins The BF-KM connects to Stihl KombiMotors (KM-series powerheads). Several KM-series powerheads have separate fuel-system recalls: - TNB02600106 (Toolless Fuel Cap) covers KM 56 RC-E, KM 90 R, KM 110 R, KM 130 R - TNB02600107 (Gasoline Tank Vent) covers KM 56 RC A BF-KM owner whose powerhead is also in scope of either of those recalls should remediate both the powerhead and the BF-KM attachment. ## Source - Stihl BF-KM recall page: https://www.stihlusa.com/safety/recalls/bf-km-recall - Stihl recalls index: https://www.stihlusa.com/safety/recalls/
