Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing (KTM) is recalling 5 of its 2021-2022 Kentucky Trailer XL-12 trailers that are equipped with specific Warn Winches and wireless handheld remotes. Water can leak into these handheld remotes, causing the internal circuit boards to corrode and potentially triggering the winch to operate on its own without user input. Owners will be provided with instructions to inspect the remotes and can receive a water-resistant replacement remote from Warn Industries free of charge.
Corrosion on the remote's circuit board can cause the winch to activate unexpectedly. An unintended winch operation increases the risk of serious injury to anyone near the equipment or the trailer load.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and battery removal
Free water-resistant remote
