Cummins Portable Generators
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The valves in the recalled generators were installed incorrectly, preventing fuel vapors from venting properly from the gasoline tank, causing excessive pressure to build up. This pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Serious injuries are a stated risk.
What it looks like
