Grcs recall

Just got a email from honeybros thought i would copy and paste it.

 

 

Martyn, this is to inform you of the recall of the following GRCS winches that we shipped to you. Serial numbers 1661- 1665, 1674-1678 and 1766-1770. These winches are the Harken 46 Arborist model which was introduced last year. We recently discovered that a small number of these were shipped to us without some small notches being machined into the top of the drum. These notches allow the self tailing a greater range of travel to accomodate larger ropes, ( up to 19mm) we have made arrangements for Harken Italy to do the machining on the winches sold in Europe. We will need a shipping address and an email address of each owner to arrange shipping back to Harken. There will be no cost to the customer.

 

The first 46 Arborist winches were bronze with a 2 piece drum, all of these winches have the notches and do not need to be returned. There are a small number of 46 Arborist winches that are bronze with a one piece drum, htese need to be returned along with any 46 Arborist winch that has a one piece drum. The 2 piece drums were made by adding a 35mm tall ring to the top of a standard drum and are easily distinguished by a circumferential seam about 30mm below the bottom black self tailing ring.

 

Attached are pictures of a bronze winch with a 2 piece drum, a chrome one piece drum and a chrom drum showing the notches.

 

I am sorry for the inconvenience to any customer, but I want everyone who has a GRCS to have a winch that is up to our design specs. Thanks in advance for your help on this.

 

Best regards, Greg--

Gregory Good
