Cub Cadet is recalling approximately 4,000 of its 2016 Challenger four-wheel drive utility vehicles, including models CX500, CX700, and CX750 Crew. Air in the brake system can cause the brakes to fail unexpectedly, which creates a serious crash hazard for the driver and anyone nearby. Cub Cadet has received 80 reports of brake failure related to this defect, although no injuries have been reported yet. These vehicles were sold in yellow, red, blue, and camouflage at independent Cub Cadet dealers nationwide from March 2016 through May 2017.
Air trapped in the brake lines can prevent the vehicle from stopping properly or cause a total loss of braking power. This poses a significant risk of a crash or collision with bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact an authorized Cub Cadet dealer or Cub Cadet customer service to arrange for a free repair.
