💥 Crash riskNHTSA 11V586📅 Dec 14, 2011

2009–2012 Sutphen SA75 & 2009–2012 Sutphen SL75 + 12 more recall: stability control

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

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.

🔧 The fix

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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
