Summary

American Honda is recalling approximately 150,600 EU2000i gasoline-powered portable generators. The generator's fuel hose can leak, which poses a significant fire and burn hazard to users. Honda has received four reports of fuel leaks, though no fires or injuries have been reported yet. These generators were sold nationwide at various retailers including Camping World, Northern Tool, and True Value between October 2011 and September 2012 for about $1,150 to $1,400. Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled units and contact a Honda Power Equipment dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The fuel hose on these generators can leak gasoline during use or storage. This creates a risk of fire and potential burn injuries if the leaking fuel ignites.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your generator for model number EU2000i printed on the side. Some models may also have the word 'Companion' printed on them.
  2. Locate the serial number on the lower right side, rear corner of the generator and check if it falls within the range EAAJ-2260273 through EAAJ-2485025.
  3. Verify the appearance of your unit; recalled generators are approximately 20 inches long by 11.5 inches wide by 16.5 inches tall and are colored black and red or feature a camouflage design.
  4. If your serial number is in the affected range, stop using the generator immediately.
  5. Contact the nearest Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair. You can find a dealer or get more information by calling American Honda toll-free at (888) 888-3139 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at http://powerequipment.honda.com by clicking 'Recalls and Updates' under 'Service and Support'.
