Plain-English summary

American Honda Motor Co. Inc. is recalling Honda Model EU7000is Portable Generators sold nationwide from December 2022 through May 2023. The recalled generators are red and gray, measure approximately 33 inches long, 28 inches wide, and 28 inches high, and have "Honda" and "EU7000is" printed on the side. The recall affects units with serial numbers EEJD-1364963 through EEJD-1366026, which are located on a decal inside the access door. About 250 units have been recalled.

The fuel filler cap on these generators can fail to seal properly, which allows fuel and fuel vapor to leak out. This creates a fire hazard. No injuries have been reported.

The generators were sold at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon.com, and authorized Honda power equipment dealers for approximately $6,000. Consumers who own recalled units should stop using them immediately and contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule a free repair.
