Kohler Power Systems is recalling approximately 7,000 portable generators (models PRO3.7, PRO3.7E, PRO5.2, PRO5.2E, and GEN5.0) because of a wiring error that can cause an electrical shock to anyone who plugs in a device. The affected generators have blue fuel tanks and black frames and were sold at authorized Kohler dealers between June 2014 and May 2016 for between $740 and $1,400. Consumers should stop using these units and contact Kohler to arrange for a free repair. No injuries have been reported to date.
A manufacturing wiring error creates a high risk of electrical shock if an electrical device is plugged into the generator, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact Kohler to schedule a free repair by the closest authorized dealer.
