Fox Factory recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Fox Factory, Inc. (Fox Factory) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, GM, RAM, 1500, 2500, Ford F-250, F-150, and F-350 vehicles equipped with Warn winches and wireless/handheld remotes. Water may enter the handheld remote control for the winch and corrode the circuit board, which can allow the winch to operate unintentionally.
What could happen
A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
The fix
Fox Factory 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. Owner notification letters were mailed September 11, 2023. Owners may contact Fox Factory customer service at 1-831-274-6500 or Warn customer service at 1-800-543-9276.
