What you should do
Consumers should inspect their Suunto hoses immediately. If the high-pressure rubber hose in their product has the manufacturing batch code 1812 on it, diving with the product should stop immediately until the hose has been replaced. Consumers should return the product to their nearest Suunto authorized dealer for a hose change. If the hose does not have the code 1812 on it, consumers do not need to take any further action.
For more information, Canadian consumers may contact Suunto Support by email, or by telephone toll-free at 1-800-267-7506 and pressing 3 and then 1 for technical support, during normal business hours.
