Problem: Sutphen is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 aerials and model year 2007-2008 pumper fire trucks equipped with detroit diesel series 60 engines. The software on these engines may cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly when a diesel particulate filter over-temperature condition is detected.
Risk: Unexpected emergency vehicle engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash and could hamper rescue operations and put the transported passenger at risk.
Fix: Sutphen will notify owners and detroit diesel will repair the vehicles free of charge by reprogramming the engine motor control module. Please see daimler trucks/detroit diesel's defect report 10e-005. The safety recall began no october 15, 2010.

Recall 08V-079: Steering
Problem: Sutphen is recalling 56 my 2006 fire truck chassis equipped with trw steering gears, models tas85. These steering gears contain potentially defective sector shafts with an incorrect gear tooth which may interfere with the rack-piston teeth, resulting in a sticking or binding condition.

Fix: Sutphen is working with trw to replace the defective steering gear (Please see 07e101). The recall began on march 3, 2008. Owners may contact trw at 765-429-1768 or sutphen at 1-866-287-5549.
