The problem

The risk

This could result in rough generator engine operation due to flooding and potential gasoline leakage which could result in a fire causing death or injury to the occupants.

The fix

Dealers will mount a regulator bracket and reroute the fuel line to the back side of the generator. The recall began april 5, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact four winds at 1-574-266-1111.
