Deere & Company is recalling approximately 68,300 John Deere Crossover Gator utility vehicles, specifically models XUV825, XUV825 S4, XUV855, and XUV855 S4 equipped with power steering. The recall was initiated because the steering shaft can detach from the steering rack, leading to a complete loss of steering control. John Deere has received nine reports of steering loss, though no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold at John Deere dealers nationwide between March 2012 and November 2017.
The steering shaft can separate from the steering rack assembly while in motion, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle's direction and significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Consumers should stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free repair. John Deere is contacting purchasers of the recalled utility vehicles directly.
