Suburban 2 Burner Drop IN Cooktop: Equipment recall

What's wrong

Suburban Manufacturing Co (Suburban) is recalling certain SDS2 2-Burner Drop-in Cooktops with part numbers 3031AST and 3032AST. The internal aluminum burner tubes that connect to the gas valves may fracture and cause a gas leak.

Why it matters

A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix

Dealers will install a regulator support bracket in unsold vehicles. The remedy for sold units include inspecting the burner tubes, and repair, as necessary, free of charge. Previously sold units will be inspected and replace the cooktop as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 13, 2023. Owners may contact Suburban customer service at 1-866-645-0658. This is an expansion of NHTSA recall 22E-035.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
