Product Disclaimer:
The products sold by RCI Metalworks are intended for off–road use only, should not be modified, and are for use only on the vehicle(s) specifically stated. RCI Metalworks makes no warranties express or implied, including of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. RCI Metalworks will not be liable for any damages arising out of the use or misuse of its products. It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure the products are safely and properly attached to the vehicle, and all products should be installed by trained professionals. We strive to maintain extremely high-quality standards; however, all RCI Metalworks products are individually handcrafted, may vary slightly, and may contain minor imperfections. Due to the nature of raw aluminum, the material may have minor scratches and other blemishes caused by the manufacturing process, especially on the back side of the product. RCI Metalworks is constantly seeking to improve its products and reserves the right to make changes to any product.
Installation of an RCI bumper requires removal of factory-installed components such as crash bars and foam impact absorbers. These components are designed for vehicle safety and impact absorption, and their removal may negatively impact occupant protection in a crash. RCI is not responsible for the removal of these components, and the owner/installer assumes all risks associated with their removal and any resulting consequences. It is the owner/installer’s sole responsibility to understand the implications of removing these components before proceeding with installation. The installation of this RCI bumper, improper installation of this RCI bumper, and use or misuse of this RCI bumper with other components or failure to use it in conjunction with other components, could result in or cause serious personal injury, property damage or death.
RCI bumpers are not crash-tested and are intended for off-road use only. Vehicle owners are responsible for testing and recalibrating any affected sensors after bumper installation. While RCI may conduct preliminary sensor functionality checks during product development, this does not constitute testing to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications. RCI is not responsible and does not accept liability, for breakage or failure of parts as a result of rugged off-road use or reckless and/or improper installation. Modifications to your vehicle are done at your own risk and RCI does not accept liability or responsibility arising from damage caused by installing parts or doing modifications.
RCI performs off-road testing on its bumpers, including winch pulls, static and dynamic recovery pulls, and general off-road use. However, RCI is not liable for any damages arising from the use or misuse of its products. Customers are responsible for ensuring products are safely and properly attached to their vehicle, and professional installation is strongly recommended. After installing any off-road product, customers should test and recalibrate all safety sensors to ensure proper functionality. Do not rely on any safety sensor functionality until this verification is complete.
RCI Offroad bumpers with receiver hitches are not load rated. Using a receiver hitch for towing or other heavy-duty tasks is not recommended unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer. The bumper and receiver hitch are intended for off-road recovery use and not designed for sustained towing or load-bearing applications. Any misuse, such as towing or overloading, may result in bumper failure, vehicle damage, or personal injury. RCI is not responsible for any damages or injuries resulting from the use of the bumper with a receiver hitch beyond its intended purpose.
If an RCI product is purchased by a third party, such as a dealer, wholesaler, or installer, it is the third party’s responsibility to inform the end customer of this disclaimer.
