What’s the Problem?
This recall affects all Henry H015-series Single Shot Rifles and Single Shot Shotguns manufactured prior to July 1, 2020.
Henry issued the recall after discovering a potential safety issue wherein, under certain conditions, the affected firearms may discharge without the trigger being pulled if the hammer is partially cocked and released. The problem was discovered while Henry employees were testing the existing fire control system for a trigger pull upgrade.
If you purchased a rifle or shotgun that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and return it to Henry Repeating Arms for a free upgrade. Henry will upgrade all returned Single Shot Rifles and Single Shot Shotguns in the order in which they are received.
This recall began on July 30, 2020.
Henry .45-70 Rifle Recall
Henry Repeating Arms has issued a recall for its lever action .45-70 rifles manufactured from Dec. 14, 2022, through Jan. 11, 2023. This recall was initiated after the manufacturer found that, under certain conditions, the affected rifles may unintentionally discharge without the trigger being pulled if the hammer is released or dropped from the cocked position, due to the use of potentially defective firing pins that may not meet specifications.
If you own a .45-70 Henry Rifle, you should stop using it immediately until you can determine whether or not your rifle is subject to the recall.
To find out if your Henry .45-70 lever action rifle is included in this recall, you should look up your serial number at henryusa.com/recall, email recall@henryusa.com, or call toll-free 1-866-200-2354 (M-F, 9 am ET-5 pm ET).
