Fuel can leak from the carburetor in the generator, which may ignite and cause a fire. This leak risk is present even when the generator is in normal use, such as during operation or storage.
Owners of Champion portable generators with model numbers 41332 or 41532 sold at Costco between specific dates are affected. Those who have the generators with the described features are most at risk due to the fire hazard.
Check for a black frame with black and yellow control panels, a bar handle, and two wheels. Model 41332 has an open frame, while model 41532 has side panels covering the fuel tank. Look for the model number and serial number on the side of the generator with the handle.
Discontinue use of the recalled generators to prevent potential fire hazards.
