What is the hazard with SUNS SS6291 Solenoid Interlock Switches?

SUNS SS6291 Solenoid Interlock Switches was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The affected interlock switches can become stuck in a retracted position, allowing the exterior door to remain unlocked, posing a risk of death or serious injury if the elevator is called to another floor. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.

What should you do if you own this product?

Consumers should stop using their residential elevator containing the SUNS interlock switch immediately and contact SUNS or their elevator installer listed below for free professional installation of a replacement interlock switch. Sold at: SUNS International and authorized residential elevator dealers nationwide from September 2024 through November 2025 for about $200.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.

How many units are affected?

About About 7,000 units of SUNS SS6291 Solenoid Interlock Switches are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
