ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- 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 it can cause
- A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,578 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Fox Factory, Inc. with NHTSA on May 12, 2023 as campaign 23V343000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
