The problem
Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing (KTM) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Kentucky Trailer XL-12 trailers equipped with certain Warn 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 fix
KTM 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. Once new parts are available, WARN will make a replacement water resistant remote available, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 15, 2023. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-502-637-2551.
