How to make a Yukon warranty claim

  • Contact NVMOS with your order number, the part, the vehicle and photos of the failure
  • We open the claim with Yukon / RANDYS Worldwide, who investigate after notification
  • Keep the failed parts; locker collateral claims require inspection of damaged parts and receipts for parts and labor
  • If Yukon verifies a defect, it repairs or replaces the part; lifetime items get a no-questions-asked replacement on the first return

Yukon contact: Yukon Gear & Axle, 10411 Airport Road, Suite 200, Everett, WA 98204. Phone 1-800-347-1188. Support through the RANDYS Worldwide contact page. · Warranty page

Bought it from NVMOS? Start with us.

Yukon runs claims through RANDYS Worldwide and wants proof of purchase, inspection of the failed parts and, for lockers, labor receipts. Call NVMOS first so we can send your order record with the claim and keep track of it with the distributor while your truck is down. Have your order number and a few photos of the issue ready, then call or text us at (920) 249-7744 or send us a message.
