RECALL ALERT!! Ryobi Pressure Washers
On August 28, 2025 and in conjunction with the CPSC, TTI Outdoor Power Equipment issued a massive recall of approximately 780,000 Ryobi electric power washers sold in the U.S. and Canada. The issue stems from a faulty capacitor that can overheat and explode, sending parts flying outward. According to reports, this defect has already led to 135 reports of overheating, including 41 incidents of the capacitor exploding. At least 32 people have been injured,with documented cases of cuts, fractures, and injuries to the hands, face, and eyes.
Models Affected
The recall involves the following Ryobi models:
RY142300 (2300 PSI)
RY142711VNM (2700 PSI)
These units were sold between July 2017 and June 2024 at major retailers, including Home Depot and Direct Tools Factory Outlet, both in-store and online.
If you own one of these pressure washers:
- Stop using it immediately.
- Check your unit by visiting the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall site or Ryobi’s recall page to confirm if your pressure washer is affected.
- Request a free repair kit. Ryobi is offering a replacement capacitor, along with shipping and installation instructions. Proof of purchase is not required.
