Read our story about this recall
- What's recalled
This recall involves the Cummins Onan P5000iDF EFI Dual Fuel Portable Generators sold in a dark gray color. The generators can operate on gasoline or propane, and 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 model and part number can be found on the label attached to the side of the generator.
- The risk
The valves in the recalled generators were installed incorrectly, preventing fuel vapors from venting properly from the gasoline tank, causing excessive pressure to build up. This pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards. The firm has received eleven reports of fuel discharging from the unit and the fuel cap ejecting unexpectedly, including one consumer reporting being splashed in the face with fuel. No medical attention was needed.

Units: About 2,960, according to CPSC. Sold at: 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.
