Cummins Onan P5000iDF generators recalled for fire and burn risk
Cummins valves in these portable generators were installed incorrectly, which can stop fuel vapors from venting from the gasoline tank and let pressure build up. This pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burns. The company has received eleven reports of fuel discharging or the cap ejecting, including one person splashed in the face with fuel; no medical attention was needed.
