For the 2012 Sutphen SPH 100. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

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.

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Summary
Sutphen is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2012 vehicles and equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) modules. See the list above for the affected models. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
Consequence
If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Sutphen is working with meritor wabco to replace the control module free of charge. Please see meritor wabco defect report 11E-039. The safety recall began on December 16, 2011. Owners may contact meritor on track customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
