On Nov. 12, 2026, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning to consumers to immediately cease using the portable generators.
According to the CPSC, the valves in the generators may have been installed incorrectly, preventing fuel vapors from venting properly from the gasoline tank. This could cause excessive pressure to build up and may cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject. This may pose a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards.
There are currently eleven reports of fuel discharging from the unit and the fuel cap ejecting unexpectedly.
Are the Portable Generators Recalled?
Yes, Cummins Inc., of Columbus, Indiana announced a product safety recall.
This recall involves Cummins Onan P5000iDF EFI Dual Fuel Portable Generators sold in a dark gray color. The generators operate on either gasoline or propane, and can produce between 4,500 and 5,000 watts, depending on fuel. “Cummins” is printed in white on the front of the unit and the handle above the control panel. The Cummins “C” logo and “Onan P5000iDF EFI” are printed on the side.
The portable generators were sold through Camping World, Factory Pure, Northern Tool, AP Electric stores and online atCummins.com from May 2025 through August 2026 for between $1,640 and $1,930.
