Generac Power Systems has recalled portable generators sold at Costco from May 1, 2025, to Feb. 28, 2026. The affected serial numbers under recall are 3016786070 – 3016788388. The generators come encased in a steel-tube cradle with two wheels on the back and have “Generac” and the “unit type” printed on the side panels.

There have been 114 reports of generator fuel leaks, though no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled portable generators and visit generac.com/about/recalls/GP-Carburetor to check if their model and serial number are included in this recall.

Consumers with generators that have been filled with enough gasoline to move the gauge off “E,” or don't have gasoline leakage, can continue to use. If it is and has either not yet been filled with fuel or has leaked while being filled, consumers should contact their dealer or place of purchase for a free repair.
