Field Van, Inc. is recalling 20 certain 2019-2022 Sprinter vehicles that are equipped with a Warn Winch and a wireless handheld remote. Water can leak into the handheld remote control and cause the internal circuit board to corrode, which may trigger the winch to start operating on its own without user input. Field Van is working with Warn Industries to provide owners with instructions on how to inspect their remotes and disable the wireless function by removing the battery pack.
If the winch operates unintentionally due to circuit board corrosion, it creates a significant risk of movement that can lead to serious injury for anyone near the vehicle or the winch cable.
You have 2 options:
Disable wireless function and inspect for corrosion.
Free replacement water-resistant remote.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
