I believe what happens a lot is:
People lower their spare, take it off then raise the cable back up with no tire or tension on the cable. This can cause the cable to be loosely wound up inside the housing, which will intern lead to jamming, frayed cable, or complete failure.
Every time you retract your spare tire winch without a tire on the other end you should keep tension on the cable so the cable winds tightly inside the housing.
