What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Commercial F-550, 2022 Commercial M2-106, M2-112, Commercial 567, 2021 Commander, and Avenger vehicles equipped with certain Warn Industries VR EVO winches with 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.

The risk

A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.

The remedy

Rosenbauer will notify owners and provide instructions for inspecting the remote for corrosion, disabling the wireless function, and ordering a new wired remote if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 25, 2023. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
