Kinedyne recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Kinedyne is recalling certain aftermarket combination winch bars, part numbers 10032 (black) and 10033 (chrome) shipped from january 1, 2010, through october 25, 2010. Due to a manufacturing anomaly, the subject winch bars may be prone to fracture at the weld that joins the steel bar to the box end (chain binder).
What could happen
This anomaly may cause the weld joint to fail and the box end to abruptly separate during normal use. If the weld fails unexpectedly, the winch bar could strike the user or cause the user to lose his or her balance and fall (especially when the user is positioned on top of the trailer or its cargo during use).
The fix
Kinedyne will notify owners of record and replace the subject combination winch bars free of charge. The safety recall began on december 15, 2010. Owners may contact kinedyne customer service at 1-800-848-6057.
