Warn Industries is recalling approximately 121,187 wireless/handheld remotes sold with VR EVO winches and as service parts. Water can enter the remote control and cause the circuit board to corrode, which may trigger the winch to operate on its own without user input. This recall affects VR EVO 8, 8-S, 10, 10-S, 12, and 12-S winch models.
If the winch operates unintentionally due to circuit board corrosion, it can move unexpected loads or cables, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury to the user or bystanders.
