Approximately 19,730 John Deere XUV835 Gator utility vehicles have been recalled because a defect in the throttle cable routing can cause it to melt and stick. This issue can prevent the operator from being able to stop the vehicle, posing a serious crash hazard. John Deere has received nine reports of these incidents, although no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold in various colors including green and yellow, olive drab, and camouflage between November 2017 and July 2019. Consumers should immediately stop using the vehicles and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The plastic sheathing on the throttle cable can melt if it is improperly routed near hot engine components. This causes the throttle to stick in place, which can prevent the driver from slowing down or stopping the vehicle, leading to a potential crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free inspection and repair of improperly routed throttle cables. John Deere is contacting all known purchasers directly.
