149,000 Generac generators recalled over fire risks
(CNN) – Nearly 150,000 portable generators are being recalled over safety concerns.
Generac said fuel can leak from the carburetor when it is first filled, posing a fire or burn risk.
The recall includes certain units with orange and black covers sold nationwide at stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s between May 2025 and February 2026.
The company has received more than 100 reports of fuel leaks, but no injuries so far.
You should stop using the generator and check your model and serial number on Generac’s website.
If included in the recall, repairs will be made free of charge.
