Possibly, but who knows? . . .
But I do agree, if there was a problem with this model, the manufacturer will be real slow to step up and admit to anything at all.
Took Stihl and Echo a real long time before they admitted their problems with their fuel lines a decade or so ago..
Could be an error in translation from the German engineers who labeled the blueprints for the US model "chain break mount here"?
