Either option will enable you to arrange an RMA to return your product(s) to Kimber for examination and remedial work, free of charge. Kimber will pay for the costs of shipping the product(s) to Kimber and returning it to you.
  • Step 2 – After confirming that your product(s) is subject to this recall, Kimber will send you a prepaid shipping label with instructions so that you can return your product to them, free of charge.
  • Step 3 – Kimber will examine your product(s), remediate it, and return it to you (free of charge) after being remediated. Kimber will make every effort to return your product(s) to you in as short a period as possible.
