Don't know if anyone has seen this but there is a recall on some Honda motors being used with splitters. See the attached link.

The recall involves Honda engines (model type GCV160LA N1A) used in Split Master by SpeeCo and Huskee brand log splitters. Only engine serial numbers between 5547012 and 6880908 are included in the recall. The serial number is located below the upper shroud near the oil dip-stick. The following models of log splitters are affected by the recall and are either silver/black or red/black colored.

The tank can crack and leak to cause the fire hazard.
