Cummins Onan P5000iDF EFI Portable Generators Recalled for Fire and Burn Hazards

The U.S. CPSC has announced a recall of Cummins portable generators. The recall date is November 12, 2026, and about 2,960 units are affected. The recall number is 27-087.

What are the risks?

According to the CPSC, a valve in the recalled products may have been installed incorrectly, preventing fuel vapors from venting properly from the gasoline tank. If pressure inside the tank becomes too high, fuel could spray out or the fuel cap could pop off, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burns.

The affected products run on gasoline or propane and produce 4,500–5,000 watts, depending on the fuel. The word “Cummins” appears in white on the front of the product and on the handle above the control panel. Check the product’s appearance and model name to see whether it is one of the affected units.

If you have an affected product

1. Check whether your product is included in the recall.
2. If it is, contact an authorized Cummins service provider.
3. Arrange to have the product repaired for free by that service provider.

The official notice says to contact an authorized Cummins service provider and arrange for a free repair at a service location. For inquiries, see the original link. Follow the official notice for specific instructions about the recall.

A backup generator can provide power during an outage, but checking the product’s model and recall status is also part of household preparedness. Compare the label and model name on your product, and if it is affected, arrange a repair through the official process, as outlined in this announcement.
