Suunto Dive Computer Recall

by Chris on June 15, 2006

Suunto have issued a recall of some of their D9 and D6 Dive Computers after discovering a software bug that could lead to inaccurate dive time information

Suunto's D9 and D6 dive computers are state of the art pieces of diving equipment that help you plan your dive safely. (Amazon has some pretty keen prices if you looking to buy a Suunto D6 or D9 for a good price).

However, Divester points to an important recall of some Suunto D9 and D6 Dive Computers:

From the press release:

"Suunto has identified a software bug in the D9 and D6 diving instruments. The software bug may cause the D9 and D6 to incorrectly track dive time on rare occasions, potentially causing a risk to the diver.

The products affected are:
D9 serial numbers 62102582 and below
D6 serial numbers 62103693 and below

Suunto will provide a free software update to fix the bug. Please bring your D9 and/or D6 to your nearest local authorized Suunto retailer for the software update as soon as possible. For contact information please visit our web site www.suunto.com If that is not possible or if you require any further details, contact the Suunto Help Desk at SuuntoD9-D6@nordictelecenter.fi To contact Suunto by phone, call toll free 1 800 543 9124 in the USA and Canada, or +358 284 1160 (international call rates are applicable) from all other countries.

As a complimentary service Suunto will at the same time replace your battery and perform a pressure test free of charge."

I've been using a Suunto Stinger for the last 3 years with no problems (besides a seized up button which I got fixed under warranty). It's an excellent, non-bulky dive computer. It's good to see Suunto coming clean about the D9 and D6 problem and taking steps to ensure divers remain safe.
