Updated April 16, 2026
Generac is recalling certain portable generators because fuel can leak from the carburetor the first time the tank is filled, creating a serious risk of fire or burns that could cause severe injury or death. If your generator has never been fueled, or leaked fuel when you first filled it, stop using it immediately.
Is the Generac Portable Generators recalled? Yes. This product was recalled by CPSC on April 16, 2026. Details below.

Am I affected
You're affected if ALL of the following are true: 1. You own a Generac portable generator with one of the unit types and model numbers listed above (check the label on the side of the unit). 2. Your serial number falls within the recalled range, look it up at https://www.generac.com/about/recalls/GP-Carburetor. 3. AND your generator has either never been filled with gasoline at all, OR it leaked fuel the first time you filled it. Note: If your generator has previously been filled with enough gasoline to move the fuel gauge off "E" and was used without any fuel leakage, Generac says you may continue to use it.

The hazard
When first filling the recalled generator with gasoline, fuel can leak from the carburetor, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire or burn hazard. Consumers with generators that have previously been filled with enough gasoline to move the gauge off "E," or have been used without any gasoline leakage, can continue to be used.
