product recall
for high pressure rubber hoses
(MANUFACTURING BATCH 1812 ONLY)



As a safety precaution, this critical recall notice is being sent to all Suunto customer contacts. If you do not use a Suunto Dive product, please disregard this notice.

A limited batch of the high pressure rubber hoses used with Suunto air integrated dive computers, dive computer combos and analog combos has unfortunately been identified to have defective hose material which may impact the durability of the hose.

This defect may cause the high pressure rubber hose to leak or rupture leading to loss of breathing gas at higher than anticipated rate which may result in severe injury or death.

Identification of the affected high pressure rubber hoses:
_Black rubber outer covering on hose
_Marked with text 5000 PSIG PRESSURE TESTED - MADE IN USA
_Hose diameter approx 12,5 mm (1/2 inch) and length approx 84 cm (33 inch)
_Manufacturing batch code 1812 printed

This recall applies only to the specific 1812 batch of the high pressure rubber hoses. Other high pressure rubber hoses are not impacted and need not to be replaced.



The following products may be affected:
Cobra, Cobra 3, SM-36 pressure gauge and gauge combos, as well as Vyper and Zoop when purchased as combo products. More information and a complete list of product codes can be found at www.suunto.com/recall.

To date, there have been no known injuries related to this issue. It is, however, mandatory that all affected products are returned for a hose change.
