2016–2020 Sutphen Fire Truck recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Sutphen Corporation (Sutphen) is recalling certain 2016-2020 Sutphen fire trucks. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.
💥 The risk
A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
On engines with 75 miles or less, dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes. Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners were notified of the defect on January 4, 2021. 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.)
