ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Issued by WARN INDUSTRIES, INC. · Reported Dec 23, 2022 · 121,187 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Warn Industries, Inc. (WARN) is recalling the Wireless/Handheld Remote sold with certain VR EVO 8, VR EVO 8-S, VR EVO 10, VR EVO 10-S, VR EVO 12, VR EVO 12-S winches, and Remote Service Part. Please see the recall report for a list of all affected winch part numbers. Water may enter the handheld remote control for the winch and cause circuit board corrosion, which can allow the winch to operate unintentionally.

Consequence

A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.

Remedy

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.
