John Deere Recalls Compact Utility Tractors Due to Injury Hazard (Recall Alert)

Agency Publication Date: December 12, 2017

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

John Deere is recalling approximately 3,300 model 1023E and 1025R compact utility tractors because the rollover protective structure (ROPS) at the back of the tractor can loosen and fail. This failure prevents the safety bar from protecting the operator if the tractor rolls over. These green and yellow tractors were sold at John Deere dealers nationwide from March 2017 through October 2017 for between $12,000 and $13,900. Consumers should stop using the recalled tractors and contact a dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The safety bar intended to protect the driver during a rollover can become loose. If the tractor tips over, this weakened structure may fail to provide the necessary protection, leading to serious injury or death.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your tractor hood for the brand name 'John Deere' and model numbers 1023E or 1025R.
  2. Locate the serial number on the right side of the tractor frame near the front right tire and verify it against the complete list of affected numbers at www.JohnDeere.com/1023E-1025R-ROPSbolt-Recall.
  3. Stop using the recalled compact utility tractor immediately.
  4. Contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule a free repair of the rollover protective structure.
  5. Contact Deere & Company at 800-537-8233 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET, or visit www.deere.com and select 'Product Recall Information' under the 'Services & Support' menu for more information.
