EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:WINCH
- 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.
- What it can cause
- A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- 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 13 vehicles this is a small campaign: 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rosenbauer vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 4 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V757000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V475000 (electrical system), 23V894000 (electrical system), 22V025000 (steering), 22V001000 (fuel system, diesel).
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 Rosenbauer America with NHTSA on July 31, 2023 as campaign 23V536000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
