John Deere is recalling approximately 5,700 compact utility tractors (models 4044R, 4052R, and 4066R) because front cab support bolts were improperly tightened during manufacturing. These bolts can fail if the tractor rolls over, which could cause the cab to collapse. The green and yellow tractors were sold nationwide between October 2016 and September 2019. No injuries have been reported to date, and John Deere is offering a free repair to all affected owners.
The support bolts for the front of the cab may fail during a rollover accident. This poses a crushing injury hazard to the operator because the cab structure may not provide the intended protection during a roll.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled compact utility tractors and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free repair. John Deere is contacting all known purchasers directly.
