NCAP overall
1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
Sutphen Corporation (Sutphen) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Fire Trucks. A fuel leak may occur from the hoses between the fuel pump and remote fuel filter head.
Consequence
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel hoses, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Sutphen customer service at 1-614-889-1005.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 2021 Sutphen Fire Truck. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
