SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130216-D054A-2147458747. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Toro 38515. Incident: Toro snowblower model 38515 started leaking gas from the carburator. According to the local dealer, it needs a new carburator but they are having trouble getting one because this is apparently a common issue with this particular snowblower. From what I can tell, Toro has issued recalls on this model snowblower but not our serial number (290004563) for this fuel leaking problem. The bad news is that the thing leaks even if it is not running. Almost all the gas in the tank leaked out over a weekend on non use.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170318-76132-2147405083. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Toro 38515 (Toro Power Curve 2450 GTS 38515 - snowblower). Incident: I purchased a Toro Power Curve CCR 2450 GTS in 2008. It is used 2-3 times a year. When priming the gas for a cold start, I have always noticed gas spilling out from the choke switch. This year the unit would not start, and I researched how to start it and sprayed carb cleaner into the carburetor. It started after this, but gas continues to leak from the carburetor. Now the engine is surging. After more research, I have learned the carburetor is made of plastic and the engines heat may cause the carburetor to warp which can cause the engine to surge and gas to leak. This same model was recalled for the same issue for the 2002 models. I have the 2007 model. I have contacted the manufacturer to ask for a replacement part. I'm assuming it is the same part for the 2002 models. The faulty carburetor is a potential safety concern because of the engine surges and a potential fire concern because of the gas leakage.
