Felling recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Felling Trailers, Inc. (Felling Trailers) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Felling Trailers Drop-Deck and 2023 Deck-Over trailers, equipped with a Warn Winch and a wireless handheld remote. Water may enter the handheld remote control for the winch and cause circuit board corrosion, which can allow the winch to operate unintentionally.
What could happen
A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
The fix
Felling Trailers will work with Warn Industries, Inc. to provide owners instructions on how 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 new parts are available, WARN will make a replacement water resistant remote available, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 14, 2023. Owners may contact Felling Trailers customer service at 1-888-335-5464.
