Plain-English summary

American Honda Motor Co. Inc. is recalling approximately 8,100 units of the 2014 Honda EU7000isN AT gas-powered generator. The recall addresses a defect where the rear frame support can fail during lifting, which poses an impact hazard. Additionally, the owner's manual may have missing or duplicated pages, potentially preventing consumers from receiving important operating or safety information.

The recalled generators are 7,000-watt models that are red with a black metal frame, folding handles, and two wheels. They measure approximately 33 1/2 inches long by 26 1/2 inches wide by 27 1/2 inches tall. The model name "EU7000isN AT" is printed on the UPC label near the fuel level indicator. Affected units have serial numbers ranging from EEJD-1000001 to EEJD 1006288, located on the inside of the side cover to the right of the control panel.

The firm received two reports of incidents in Canada involving rear frame support failures, but no injuries were reported. Two reports of owner's manuals with errors were also received. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact a Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule a free repair of the rear frame support and replacement of the owner's manual. American Honda is also contacting registered customers directly.
