Reason for Recall
The rear frame support can fail during lifting, posing an impact hazard. The owner's manual can have missing or duplicated pages, which could cause consumers not to receive important operating or safety information.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact a Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule a free repair of the rear frame support and replacement of the owner's manual. American Honda is contacting all registered customers directly.
