The problem
The "o" rings of the regulator assembly in the onan emerald and marquis brand generator sets can weaken and break when exposed to high ambient temperatures.
The risk
If an ignition source is present, liquid propane gas (lpg) leakage could result in a fire.
The fix
Owner notification will be conducted by onan. Dealers will either remove the lpg regulator and replace it with a model not subject to rupture, or install a pre-regulator in the fuel system.
