This recall involves approximately 3,000 B4363GS fuel tank replacement caps made by Kelch/Bemis for Briggs & Stratton portable generators with plastic fuel tanks. These black replacement caps were sold between February 2017 and February 2018 for about $26. They are being recalled because they lack necessary ventilation holes, which allows pressure to build up inside the fuel tank, creating a fire hazard. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
The replacement caps were manufactured without ventilation holes, causing pressure to build up in the generator's fuel tank as it operates or as temperatures change. This internal pressure can cause fuel to leak or spray, posing a significant fire hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the portable generators and return the recalled fuel tank replacement cap to a Briggs & Stratton dealer for a free replacement.
