Morbark Brush Chippers Recalled for Fuel Line Fire Risk

Alamo Group is recalling 2023-2024 Morbark brush chippers because fuel lines may lack the required pressure rating, creating a fire hazard.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel line pressure rating) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
