Rosenbauer Fire Trucks Recalled for Winch Remote Water Ingress Risk

Rosenbauer America is recalling specific fire trucks because water can enter the winch remote, causing corrosion that may allow the winch to operate unintentionally.

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 where the winch may operate unintentionally, increasing the risk of injury, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Rosenbauer America is recalling certain 2020-2022 Commercial F-550, 2022 Commercial M2-106, M2-112, Commercial 567, 2021 Commander, and Avenger vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with certain Warn Industries VR EVO winches that include a wireless handheld remote.
