Why it was recalled
When first filling the recalled generator with gasoline, fuel can leak from the carburetor, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire or burn hazard. Consumers with generators that have previously been filled with enough gasoline to move the gauge off "E," or have been used without any gasoline leakage, can continue to be used.
The firm has received 114 reports of generator fuel leaks. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Generac portable generator and go to https://www.generac.com/about/recalls/GP-Carburetor to check to see if your model and serial number are included in this recall. If your unit is included in the recall and has either not yet been filled with fuel or exhibited leakage after fueling as described above, please contact your dealer to arrange for free repair at the dealer's location.
