Summary

Yamaha has recalled approximately 10,100 portable generators, models 2018 and 2019 EF2000iS, because the fuel tank can leak gasoline. This defect creates a significant danger of fire and burns for anyone near the unit. These blue generators were sold nationwide at Yamaha Motorsports dealers between June 2018 and October 2019 for about $900. Consumers should stop using the generators immediately and contact an authorized dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The generator's fuel tank is prone to leaking gasoline during use or storage. If the leaked fuel encounters a heat source or spark, it can ignite, causing a fire and potentially causing serious burn injuries to the operator or bystanders.
