Cub Cadet is recalling approximately 1,300 of its model year 2015 Challenger CX500 and CX700 four-wheel drive off-road utility vehicles. The recall was initiated because the parking brake cable can fail, which creates a crash hazard. The manufacturer has received 22 reports of brake cable failures, though no injuries or property damage have been reported. These vehicles were sold in yellow and camouflage colors at Cub Cadet dealers nationwide between April 2015 and October 2015 for between $8,500 and $9,500.
The parking brake cable on these vehicles can snap or fail to engage, which could allow the vehicle to roll unexpectedly or fail to stop when parked, posing a serious risk of a crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a Cub Cadet dealer to schedule an appointment for a free repair. Cub Cadet is contacting owners of the recalled utility vehicles directly.
