smerchly Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Over 15000 , mostly bought at Can .Tire .....plastic rims exploding . This is what happens when they cut corners to make larger profits . My old machine has steel rims . If you have plastic rims ,check to see if you can get new steel rims as stated . https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/15-000-snowblowers-recalled-after-36-injuries-reported-in-canada-1.4747876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Plasitc rims on barbeques don't even last. Any plastic in cold weather is worse as it becomes brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rims on bbq's , lawnmowers , wheelbarrels , etc. are made sturdier with bearings , or just a plastic bushing . The snow blowers that are exploding must be very thin crap made in China.
