Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) has completed a competitive process to review the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2012. As a result of this process, the Company is engaging McGladrey LLP (“McGladrey”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 (subject to McGladrey’s customary acceptance procedures). In selecting McGladrey, the Committee considered that McGladrey is one of the largest non-“Big Four” U.S. providers of assurance, tax and consulting services, and is the U.S. member of RSM International, a large worldwide network of independent accounting, tax and consulting firms.

Accordingly, on June 12, 2012, the Committee notified Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) of its decision to change the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Deloitte’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through June 12, 2012, there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company’s financial statements for such years. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through June 12, 2012, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing statements. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Deloitte’s letter dated June 18, 2012 indicating that it agrees with such statements.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and through June 12, 2012, the date of McGladrey’s engagement as the Company’s independent auditors, the Company had not consulted with McGladrey with respect to the application of accounting principles as to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, any matter that was the subject of a disagreement with Deloitte (of which there were none) or any “reportable event.”
