John Deere has recalled about 1,740 Frontier-branded rotary tillers because some power take-off (PTO) drivelines were missing a critical safety warning sign. This missing label fails to warn users that bystanders or operators could become dangerously entangled if they come into contact with the moving driveline. These green tillers, sold at John Deere dealers nationwide from May 2019 through November 2020 for between $2,000 and $3,200, should be inspected by an authorized dealer for a free repair.
The lack of a safety sign means users may not be aware of entanglement hazards, which could lead to severe physical injury if a person's clothing or limbs get caught in the rotating driveline. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled rotary tillers and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free inspection and repair. John Deere is contacting all known purchasers directly.
