Onan generator
Has there been a recall on 5500 Onan generators installed in 2014 motorhomes? If so, does the dealer have any responsibility to notify the owner? My generator failed within 2 hours after I purchas...

If the dealer who sold you the motorhome is an authorized repair facility for Onan, they can take care of it, and it should be done promptly and at no cost to you. If they are not an Onan repair facility, find a Cummins/Onan shop who will quickly fix or replace your unit. I went through the same thing a year ago, and Cummins had me back in business shortly. Overall, Onan generators are very dependable and trouble-free, but the fuel you get today deals much misery. That is the #1 problem they have with new Onans, according to the service tech I dealt with. Be sure and exercise your unit monthly as is recommended, too (after it gets fixed). Don't worry about putting too many hours on the generator, more hours are far better than few hours.

Really? What is wrong with the fuel we are getting today? No problems here, our Onan has been a flawless running machine.
I have been buying ULSD since 2007 as our coach has the particulate filter. Our Onan has no pollution controls like the engine and is the same Onan that you can buy today. Is there something different from 2007 to 2014? 15ppm diesel fuel is the same as it was in 2007 as it is today.
