TAMPA, Fla. — American Honda is recalling about 340,000 portable 
generators because the generator's inverter assembly can short circuit 
and catch on fire.

Honda has received at least 10 reports of fires, but no injuries have 
been reported. The generators were sold at Home Depot and other home 
improvement stores nationwide from February 2018 through January 2020 
for between $1,100 to $1,300.

The generators were previously recalled in 2019 for similar reasons.
