The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/20/2024) YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA: These comments are submitted in response to Report Number 20240802-EE5AB-2147337533.
This report is for a November 8, 2016 incident involving an alleged fire due to a fuel gauge leak in a Yamaha EF2000isv2 portable generator. The customer did not contact Yamaha about the incident until August 2, 2024, nearly eight years later. He inquired about a past recall of certain 2018 and 2019 Yamaha EF2000iS portable generators. Yamaha confirmed that the customer’s unit pre-dated and was not among the portable generators subject to the recall.
Yamaha denies any and all liability in the reported incident.
Yamaha requests that this response be included with any public disclosures of the above-referenced report.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/21/2022) YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA: These general comments are submitted in response to Report No. 20220908-256B7-2147353963. The report indicates that, on April 1, 2022, the owner stated that his Yamaha EF2000iS portable generator experienced a fuel tank leak similar to that described in a November 26, 2019 recall alert (Recall No. 20-710). The owner claims that his serial number (4532530) is “just prior” to the serial numbers (4543288 through 4553706) of the affected units in the recall. The owner’s serial number occurs 10,758 units prior to the affected units and was manufactured approximately 10 months prior to the affected units.
The owner contacted Yamaha on September 8, 2022 and was directed to contact a Yamaha dealer for evaluation. The owner responded that he had already “dismantled” his generator.
Yamaha requests that this response be included with any public disclosures of the above-referenced report.

The product, in the report: Portable generator

The consumer started to use the generator and saw that gas was dripping down in the filter. His neighbor saw him and advised him to turn the shut-off valve, which he did and the gas stopped. The consumer did not use the generator.
However, he noted that as soon as the gas valve is turned on, fuel starts dripping and if the crank is turned, more fuel drips.
The model appears to be included in CPSC Recall# 20-710.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/10/2021) YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA: These general comments are submitted in response to Report No. 20210202-B1C0E-3008868. The report alleges that, on January 30, 2021, the owner started his Yamaha portable generator and “saw gas dripping down in the filter,” and more gas began to drip when the crank was turned. The owner claimed that his portable generator is included in CPSC Recall #20-710.
Yamaha has contacted the owner and confirmed, by serial number, that his portable generator was not included in CPSC Recall #20-710. Based on the owner’s description of the issue, it is likely a carburetor maintenance matter. Yamaha is arranging for the customer to have the generator inspected and serviced by an authorized Yamaha Power Products dealer.
Yamaha requests that this response be included with any public disclosures of the above-referenced report.
