American Honda Recalls Portable Generators
Product Description
Only portable generator model numbers EM4000SX, EM5000SXK3 and EM6500SXK2 with hazard labels printed in Japanese are affected. The word Honda and the model numbers are located on the side of the generator. The battery is located above the wheel. The model number and serial numbers are located on the generator frame. The recalled serial numbers are: Model Number Serial Number EM4000SX EBRC-1000015 to 1000518 EM5000SXK3 EBMC-1000005 to 1001184 EM6500SXK2 EBJC-1000017 to 1000857
Reason for Recall
The hazard labels attached to the batteries used on the generators are printed in Japanese instead of English. As a result, consumers handling the battery may not be able to adequately avoid risks associated with the batteries.
Remedy
American Honda is contacting consumers and giving them the correct label. Consumers can either install the label themselves or contact a Honda dealer to install the label for free.
