Hazard Information
When first filling the recalled generator with gasoline, fuel can leak from the carburetor. This poses 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.

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

Official Remedy
The official remedy for affected units is a free repair at the dealer’s location. Consumers whose generators have already been filled with fuel and used without leakage are not required to take action under this recall.
