IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR WINCHESTER XPR RIFLES.

In our continual product testing, we have learned of an issue that is important to the safety of all XPR owners. It has come to our attention that a manipulation of the safety switch may cause movement in the trigger system that could result in unintended firing of certain XPR rifles.
WARNING: Do not load or shoot any XPR rifle until it has been returned to our service center and received a retrofit. Failure to follow this warning may result in a risk of harm, including serious personal injury or death to you and others.
In order to exercise an abundance of caution on behalf of all XPR owners, we have decided to replace certain trigger group parts at no charge. This will require that all XPR rifles are sent to our service facility for a retrofit. We respectfully require all owners to return their rifles for the retrofit.
All of us at Winchester Repeating Arms understand how inconvenient this is. We are aware that hunting seasons are open all across the country. But, in our commitment to safety, we request that you follow the details provided in coming days on how to return your rifle for retrofit. In no way does the retrofit of your XPR affect its inherent accuracy, durability, handling ease or overall performance.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTACTING US ABOUT HOW TO RECEIVE THE RETROFIT FOR YOUR RIFLE ARE FOUND BELOW.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
  • In the interest of safety, do not load or shoot any XPR rifle until it has been returned to our service center and received the retrofit.
  • Never attempt to repetitively manipulate the safety lever or button of any firearm.
  • Unfortunately, failing to return any XPR rifle(s) for retrofit may create a risk of harm, including serious personal injury or death to you and others.
  • It goes without saying; never point any firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
Thank you again for your understanding,


CALL NOW.
