Got this today in the mail:

Product Improvement Campaign: Kubota B2789 Snowblower

We are sending you this letter because our records show that you
purchased a B2789 Snowblower and Kubota is voluntarily conducting a
safety campaign that applies to your unit.

What is the Problem?
Kubota has determined through an investigation that your Snowblower
was built without a safety driveline guard. Under certain conditions
this may represent a potential hazard to anyone operating the unit.

What products are affected?
The products involved are certain Kubota model B2789 Snowblowers sold
between 09/2010 and 03/2014.

What should you do?
This MANDATORY SAFETY CAMPAIGN requires that YOU, the customer, do the
following to AVOID PERSONAL INJURY: PLEASE DO NOT OPERATE THE AFFECTED
MACHINES UNTIL REPAIRED. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SELLING DEALER AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.


Sounds like they only want to put another guard on it. Anyone know what it is yet?

It is at the gearbox on the blower where the PTO driveshaft attaches. You can see the u-joint. Apparently it is a flip-up guard just like on the back of the tractor over the PTO.
