Generac Power Systems Expands Recall of Generac and DR Power Electric Start Pressure Washers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Carbon Monoxide Hazard; Includes Additional Models

Hazard: The electronic start/stop button on the pressure washer can malfunction and self-start, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning, if the unit is in a confined space.

What to do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure washer and contact Generac to arrange for a free repair at your dealer's location. The pressure washer can still be used with the battery removed by using the pull-start option to start the unit.
