Cummins Recalls About 2,960 Onan Portable Generators: Misinstalled Valves Can Discharge Fuel and Eject the Fuel Cap, With 11 Reports Filed
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on November 12 that Cummins is recalling about 2,960 Onan P5000iDF EFI dual fuel portable generators, under recall number 27-087. Valves in the recalled generators were installed incorrectly, preventing fuel vapors from venting properly from the gasoline tank and causing excessive pressure to build up. That pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards.
The recalled generators are dark gray, can operate on gasoline or propane, and produce between 4,500 and 5,000 watts depending on the fuel. Cummins is printed in white on the front of the unit, and the Cummins C logo and Onan P5000iDF EFI are printed on the side; the model and part number appear on a label attached to the side of the generator. The units were sold from May 2025 through August 2026 at Camping World, Factory Pure, Northern Tool and AP Electric stores and online at Cummins.com for between $1,640 and $1,930. They were manufactured in Vietnam and distributed by Cummins Inc. of Columbus, Indiana.
Cummins has received eleven reports of fuel discharging from the unit and the fuel cap ejecting unexpectedly, including one consumer who was splashed in the face with fuel. No medical attention was needed.
CPSC says consumers should stop using the recalled generators immediately and check the model and part number on the Cummins safety recall page to see whether their unit is included. Owners of affected units should contact an authorized Cummins service location to arrange a free repair. Consumers can also call Cummins at 800-286-6467.
