Summary

American Honda is recalling about 34,000 EB2800i and EG2800i portable gasoline generators because the carburetor can leak gasoline. The firm has received 38 reports of fuel leakage, which poses a serious risk of fire and burns to users. These generators have red front covers, black metal frames, and were sold at authorized Honda dealers and Home Depot stores nationwide from September 2016 through November 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these generators and contact a local authorized Honda Power Equipment service dealer for a free inspection and repair.
