2012 Sutphen SP70 recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Sutphen Corporation (Sutphen) is recalling one 2012 SP70 vehicle equipped with a Weldon V-Mux Vista IV Standard LCD display used for controlling emergency vehicle lighting and HVAC functions. The display may experience low voltage spikes, causing the LCD display to lock up or become non-functional, due to varying electrical installations.
💥 The risk
A locked up or non-functional LCD display can delay emergency efforts, which can increase the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
A dealer has repaired the affected vehicle, and therefore no owner notification letters will be sent. Owners may contact Sutphen customer service at 1-614-889-1005.
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.)
