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.

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.

Power train › Driveline › Universal joint

Summary
Sutphen has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain model year 2004 through 2010 sph model fire trucks manufactured between January 2004 and January 2010, equipped with series 60 detroit diesel or C-13 caterpillar engines. Pre 2007, the detroit diesel engines were mounted low in the frame which causes vibration in the driveline. Post 2007, a new suspension and frame design caused the driveline angles of the detroit diesel and caterpillar engines to be slightly out of alignment.
Consequence
Vibration in the driveline can cause premature failure of the u-joints, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Sutphen will notify owners and repair the fire trucks free of charge. The safety recall began on March 8, 2010. Owners may contact sutphen at 1-866-287-5549.

December 17, 2009NHTSA 09V48200029 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling

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).
