What the authority reported
Due to a manufacturing defect, the camshaft decompressor mechanism in the engine can malfunction. In models without an electric starter this excessive force may be required to pull the starter rope to start the engine. In the model with an electric starter the electric starter may fail to start the motor.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
