Honda Generator Recall
While in camping world tonight, I noticed on the shelf where the 2200 generator was supposed to be, was a notice of a stop sale / recall. Honda's own site doesn't even have notice of this recall???!!!???

Yamaha rep probably stuck the sign there. ;)- I picked up my old Honda 2000 last week from my local Honda repair shop, he showed me a shelf of 2200’s waiting for the recall fix which hasn’t been determined yet. Said be glad I had a 2000 if needing it used. I also have a newer 2000 and asked him if i could determine if it is recalled, he said the 2200 were and not the 2000s. Didn’t mention the 2800.
If you have a 2200 I would check it out. RollandB wrote:

The most recent Honda recall applies to EG2800i and EB2800i inverter gensets, not the new EU2200i. No amount of Google searching turns up an EU2200i recall ... curious. :hphilh wrote:

Fake News, 2200 NOT impacted:
https://powerequipment.honda.com/support/recalls-and-updates- Well there it is....doesn't look fake to me. It will be inconvenient for some, but still a nice gen when brought up to safe specs.
