Why is it being recalled? (Hazard)
The recalled generators' fuel tank can fail to vent adequately from the rollover valve, causing the gas tank to build up excess pressure and expel fuel when opened, posing fire and burn hazards.
What should I do? (Remedy)
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact Generac for a free repair kit.
