Crysteel is recalling 2021-2023 dump bodies on Isuzu chassis because water in the winch remote can cause corrosion and unintentional winch operation.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (unintentional winch operation) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Crysteel Manufacturing Inc is recalling certain 2021-2023 dump body vehicles built on Isuzu NRR-Series chassis. These vehicles are equipped with a Warn Winch and a wireless handheld remote. The recall addresses a defect where water may enter the handheld remote control, causing circuit board corrosion.

This corrosion can allow the winch to operate unintentionally. An unintentionally operating winch increases the risk of injury to the vehicle operator or nearby individuals.

Crysteel will work with Warn Industries, Inc. to provide owners with instructions on how to inspect the remote for corrosion and disable the wireless function by removing the battery pack. If corrosion or water intrusion is found, owners should stop using the remote and contact WARN customer service for a free replacement. Once new parts are available, WARN will provide a replacement water-resistant remote free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning on April 28, 2023. Owners may contact Crysteel customer service at 1-800-533-0494.
