In case you missed it, Winchester has issued a safety notice and immediate recall for all XPR rifles
On October 19 Winchester issued a safety notice and recall for all XPR rifles. The reason being is that the firearm may discharge when the safety is manipulated. We are publishing this article to remind XPR owners of the issue.
Winchester issued the following safety tips in addition to the recall notice:
- 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.
If you or anyone you know owns an XPR, you are urged to contact Winchester to have your firearm retrofitted with the upgraded trigger parts by emailing them at XPR@winchesterguns.com or by calling their toll-free number at 1-800-727-4312.
