Suunto D6 and D9 recall

Suunto is recalling both the D6 and D9 due to a software bug. Looks like for your trouble you get a battery change and service, which is typically around $60.

Here are the details 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.
