What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with NorthStar Hot Water Pressure Washers?
NorthStar Hot Water Pressure Washers (Northern Tool + Equipment Manufacturing, of Faribault, Minnesota) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The fan wheel on the recalled pressure washers can fail, causing abnormal burner operation that can produce smoke and/or bursts of flames during use, posing a fire hazard. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure washers and contact Northern Tool + Equipment to request a free repair by an authorized technician at a Northern Tool + Equipment service center or a Northern Tool + Equipment authorized third-party servicer. Consumers should visit https://www.northerntool.com/recall-details-pw to schedule the repair. Sold at: Northern Tool + Equipment stores nationwide and online at NorthernTool.com, Amazon.com, Ebay.com, and GNEDI.com from January 2025 through August 2025 for between $5,000 and $10,000.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 1,416 units of NorthStar Hot Water Pressure Washers are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
