The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says Cummins is recalling about 2,960 Onan P5000iDF EFI Dual Fuel Portable Generators because of a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards. The CPSC lists the recall date as November 12, 2026. The firm has received eleven reports of fuel discharging and the fuel cap ejecting unexpectedly.
What's Being Recalled?
The recalled generators are dark gray and run on gasoline or propane. They produce 4,500 to 5,000 watts, depending on the fuel. "Cummins" is printed in white on the front of the unit and on the handle above the control panel. The Cummins "C" logo and "Onan P5000iDF EFI" are printed on the side. The model and part number are on a label on the side of the generator. The CPSC says they were sold at Camping World, Factory Pure, Northern Tool, AP Electric stores and online at Cummins.com from May 2025 through August 2026 for between $1,640 and $1,930. The generators were manufactured in Vietnam, and Cummins Inc., of Columbus, Indiana, is the distributor.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
According to the CPSC, valves were installed incorrectly. Fuel vapors cannot vent properly from the gasoline tank, so excessive pressure builds up. That pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, which poses a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards. One consumer reported being splashed in the face with fuel and did not need medical attention. The CPSC page lists no other injuries, no property damage and no deaths.
