There are various items within the range whereby 36 month/100,000 or 24 month/40,000 kms warranty terms are not applicable – this exclusion relates specifically to items used in 4WD off-road applications and items with inherent design characteristics from genuine, whereby the loads and conditions to which the joint is subjected means normal warranty conditions cannot apply.
These items will be managed on a case by case basis as/if required. All ball joints that have been designed by the OE supplier to be in a ‘load carrying tension position’ will be covered by a 12 month / 20,000 kms warranty (whichever occurs first). This includes, but is not limited to, BJ3562L, BJ3562R, BJ55, BJ426, BJ426L+ARM , BJ426R+ARM, BJ3396R , BJ3396L etc. Items fitted to vehicles with wheel and/or suspension design changes from standard are excluded from warranty. Such suspension design changes include either the lifting or lowering of vehicles. Such wheel changes predominately mean the fitment of wheels and tyres larger than standard. Unfortunately, some wheel or suspension design changes, alter both the steering geometry and forces applied to existing components that can have an effect on individual components, that have been manufactured to specific tolerances and operating angles. This warranty excludes bushings on 4WD suspension arms. Bushing warranty relating to 4WD suspension arms is covered separately as outlined below.
4WD suspension arm bushings are excluded from the above warranty conditions. Bushings included in 4wd suspension arms (such as Panhard Rods, Radius Arms, Trailing Arms, Sway Bar Links) are covered by a 3-month warranty from date of purchase. This warranty condition is applicable to both genuine bushings and aftermarket rubber bushings supplied in listed applications. This warranty applies to bushing failure as a result of manufacturer defects; it does not apply to failures as a result of abuse, misuse or flex outside of what would be considered reasonable common use. Vehicle manufacturers such as Nissan Australia and Toyota Australia do not offer any warranty on their bushings when installed in an aftermarket suspension component or fitted to any lifted vehicle.

Water ingress under normal winching conditions is covered by our warranty (using the winch, while it is submerged, is not normal). We understand that winches go through river crossings and get wet. The number one enemy of winches is water. The KING ONE winch is not designed for direct contact with extreme high pressure cleaning equipment or prolonged total immersion. Marine winches are available for this application. The winch (any winch!) is not a ‘fit and forget’ item. It needs to be used regularly and maintained. You should operate your winch at least every two to three months (run cable out half way, freespool 5m and rewind) and after river crossings.

In this situation, the faulty parts will need to be returned by the owner to relevant RSV warehouse (to be advised). RSV will repair or replace any or all winch parts, if after inspection are determined to be defective and deemed under warranty. RSV will not be liable for any installation or removal fees, whether or not the winch is under warranty. King One winches are intended for use in domestic recovery applications, winches used in commercial or competitive applications will not be covered by warranty.
