Milwaukee M18 Fuel Top Handle Chainsaw Recall

Recall & Safety Notice: M18 FUEL™ Top Handle Chainsaw

Heads up, everyone — if you own Milwaukee’s M18 FUEL™ Top Handle Chainsaw, this is one you’ll want to pay attention to. Milwaukee Tool, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has announced a voluntary recall for certain M18 FUEL™ 12” and 14” Top Handle Chainsaws (Category Number 2826-20) due to a potential chain brake issue.

On some saws (units with the fourth character of the serial number “A”), the chain brake may not stop the chain from moving when engaged. If the brake fails, the chain could continue rotating, posing a serious laceration risk to the operator.

⚙️ Affected Models

  • Cat. No: 2826-20C
  • Cat. No: 2826-22T
  • Cat. No: 2826-21T
  • Cat. No: 2826-20T

Only units where the fourth character of the serial number is “A” are affected.
The affected product is the M18 FUEL™ Top Handle Chainsaw — no other models are included.

🚫 What To Do If You Own One

Stop using the saw immediately and arrange for a free repair by doing one of the following:

  • Use the official Milwaukee eService Portal
  • Or call Milwaukee Tool directly at 833-953-2012 (Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM CST)

Stay safe out there — and make sure your tools are performing the way they should.
