Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
As an interim action, WARN will provide owners with instructions to inspect the remote for corrosion and disable the wireless function by removing the battery pack from the remote. If corrosion or water intrusion is found when removing the battery pack, Owners should stop using the remote and contact WARN customer service for a replacement remote free of charge. Once parts are available, WARN will make a replacement water resistant Remote available to affected customers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 11, 2023. Owners may contact WARN customer service at 1-800-543-9276.
