NorthStar Pressure Washers Recalled for Fire Hazard

In January 2026, the Minnesota-based company Northern Tool + Equipment recalled about 1,416 pressure washers that can produce smoke or “bursts of flames during use,” which poses a fire hazard. No injuries or incidents were reported in the recall.

What is the Problem?

The fire hazard has been linked to a faulty fan wheel, which may result in abnormal burner operation. According to the recall website:

“Certain NorthStar pressure washers manufactured between January 2025 and August 2025 may contain a faulty fan wheel. The fan wheel on the recalled pressure washers can fail, causing abnormal burner operation that can produce smoke and/or bursts of flames during product use, posing a fire hazard.”
