Portable Generator Battery
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
American Honda is recalling three models of portable generators (EM4000SX, EM5000SXK3, and EM6500SXK2) with specific serial number ranges because their battery hazard labels are printed in Japanese instead of English. This creates a safety concern because consumers may not understand the warnings and could face risks when handling the battery.
To remedy the issue, American Honda is providing affected consumers with the correct English-language label. Consumers can install the label themselves or take their generator to an authorized Honda dealer to have the label installed for free.
