(RTTNews) - Moline, Illinois-based Deere & Co. is recalling about 147,900 units of Compact Utility Tractors citing risk of crash, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. In addition, about 16,800 units were sold in Canada.
The recall involves John Deere 1023E, 1025R, and 2025R Compact Utility Tractors in green and yellow, and were sold with both opened and closed operator stations.
The tractors were manufactured in United States and sold at authorized John Deere dealers nationwide from November 2017 through July 2024 for between $12,700 and $21,000.
According to the agency, the front bell crank in the brake linkage can fail causing the tractor to lose braking, resulting in a crash hazard.
The recall was initiated after the firm received four reports of the brake linkage failing, including one hospitalization and two impact injuries and minor property damage to the tractors.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled tractors and contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair.
