Summary

Deere & Company is recalling about 600 John Deere model 2025R compact utility tractors because the brakes can fail during operation. These green and yellow tractors were sold nationwide from July 2017 through October 2017 for approximately $16,200. Although no injuries or incidents have been reported, the defect poses a significant risk of crashes and injuries to the operator or others nearby. Consumers should immediately stop using these tractors and contact a John Deere dealer for a free repair.
