Hi All,
I had my Toyota fitted winch fail the other day, it was the first time that I have used it, still looks brand new only it is now in two pieces.
The winch is an X9 superwinch that Toyota fit and class it as a genuine accessory.
My dilemma is that it is only just over one year old and I will have to do battle with Toyota for any warranty.
Has anyone else had any experience with this particular winch, is it worth battling Toyota or should I just write it off as another bad experience and buy something more reliable.
I am lucky that I was not using the winch in anger at the time as I was only re running it onto the spool to exercise it. It could have left me in a very difficult or dangerous situation.
I would be interested in your comments as usual.
Regards,
Matt

Matt,
Toyota will cover it no worries , being a genuine toyota accessery it is covered by there three year warranty if fitted on the vehicle from new .
Not sure if you have had it fitted on an older car or not but l would still imagine it to be covered .
After buying my car from the auctions l discovered the winch not to be working , as the car was only two years old l thought it would still be covered, so l took it to toyota who checked it out and discovered water had got in to the motor of it .
A new motor was then fitted no questions asked and not a cent to spend .
Mind you this is the only good experience l have had with my local dealer .
