A potential safety risk has been found by Suunto on two of its products. All consumers who have a Suunto Wireless Tank Pressure Transmitter or Tank POD are asked to bring the products to an authorized Suunto dive dealer or a Suunto Authorized Service Centre for inspection and upgrade. It is a free service for its customers.
The exterior case of a Suunto Wireless Tank Pressure Transmitter failed during regular dry land pressure testing. Although it is extremely rare, it is a potential risk of injury if it bursts.
The process is free for consumers. All Transmitters and Tank PODs must not be used before the upgrade has been made.
Suunto will provide a free battery replacement and a one-year warranty from the date of inspection for all upgraded products.
