Summary: Sutphen corporation is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 fire trucks equipped with cummins isc CM2150 and isl CM2150 model diesel engines. The trucks may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. Due to an issue with the logic in the ECM software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.
Consequence: This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
Remedy: Sutphen corporation is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge. Please see cummins' defect report 09E-046. Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357).
Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Sutphen been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Sutphen dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
