Vidcast: https://youtu.be/jfiDeQ8Auo8 The CPSC and Generac Power Systems announce the recall of Generac Electric Start Pressure Washers. The start/stop button on these units is defective and the gasoline engine may start when the unit is inside leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. About 53,000 washers were sold in the US and 1750 were sold in Canada at home improvement and hardware stores and online sites including Ace Hardware, Amazon, City Electric Supply, Costco, Do It Best, eBay, Essendant, Fastenal, Home Depot, Lowe's Stores, Menard's, Orgill, Power Equipment Direct, Ravitsky Bros., Tractor Supply, True Value and Walmart. Discontinue use of this pressure washer, remove the rechargeable battery, and contact Generac by phone at 1-855-625-2933 to arrange for a free replacement of the start/stop switch. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2022/Generac-Power-Systems-Recalls-Generac-and-DR-Power-Electric-Start-Pressure-Washers-Due-to-Carbon-Monoxide-Hazard #generac #powerwasher #ignitionswitch #carbonmonoxide #poisoning #recall

GM recalls keep coming, with another 6.5 million cars recalled for various problems including ignition issues. We talk about how these recalls illustrate the perils of cost-cutting, and suggest that GM stop building cars with ignition keys altogether. After just a few months on the job, GM’s CEO Mary Barra probably wishes she was in Alan Mulally’s shoes. He retired today as Ford’s CEO, stepping down as a lauded hero after basically mortgaging and saving the company. We discuss the impact this had on Ford’s products in the eight years of his tenure. Finally, taking a break from industry news, we answer a viewer question about buying a BMW 3-Series as a second family car.
