FLTRT · 2024-2026 milwaukee-eight airbox baseplate
30 Apr 2026 · R/2026/195
The airbox baseplate may have a blocked breather port due to a supplier manufacturing issue. A blocked breather port can result in pressure build-up in the crankcase. If the dipstick is removed while the Version: 3.0 (Jan 2025) crankcase is pressurized oil may be discharged from the fill spout creating a risk of injury.
Fix: Verify that air flows through the hose and into air box backing plate. If the air box backing plate port is blocked rework the breather passage.
