John Deere Recalls Crossover Gator Utility Vehicles Due to Crash Hazard (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the side of your vehicle to see if the model number is XUV825, XUV825 S4, XUV855, or XUV855 S4.
  2. Verify your serial number, which is located on the passenger side of the frame under the cargo box. Affected serial numbers begin with 1M0825 or 1M0855 and fall within the specific ranges provided in the product details, such as 1M0825GEXXM040001 through 1M0825GEXXM136520.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles if they match the model and serial number criteria.
  4. Contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule a free repair of the steering assembly. You can find a dealer by calling Deere & Company at 800-537-8233 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET on Saturday.
  5. Visit www.deere.com and select 'Product Recall Information' under the 'Services & Support' menu for more information and to confirm if your vehicle is affected.
  6. Contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions or need to report an incident.
