Summary

Subaru is recalling about 4,100 portable gasoline generators (models SGX3500, SGX5000, and SGX7500) because the fuel tank can leak.

These generators feature yellow fuel tanks and black frames and were sold at authorized Subaru Power Equipment dealers nationwide from September 2011 through January 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using these generators and contact Robin America for a free repair.
