Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Sutphen is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2012 vehicles equipped with Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) modules. Under certain road and driving conditions, the ESC system may incorrectly calculate the slip angle due to vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics. This could cause the ESC to misinterpret an over-steering situation and apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle. If the driver reacts slowly during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from its intended path, increasing crash risk.
Sutphen is working with Meritor Wabco to replace the control module at no cost. The safety recall began on December 16, 2011. Affected consumers should contact Meritor On Track Customer Service at 1-866-668-7221 for service. More information is available in Meritor Wabco Defect Report 11E-039.

SUTPHEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 THROUGH 2012 VEHICLES AND EQUIPPED WITH MERITOR WABCO ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MODULES. SEE THE LIST ABOVE FOR THE AFFECTED MODELS. UNDER CERTAIN ROAD AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, VEHICLE BODY ROLL AND ROAD INCLINATION CHARACTERISTICS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SLIP ANGLE CALCULATION OF THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM. THIS MIGHT CAUSE THE ESC TO PERCEIVE AN OVER STEERING SITUATION AND THEREFORE APPLY THE OUTER WHEEL BRAKE ON THE FRONT AXLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS PERCEIVED TO BE STABLE.
