Deere & Company is recalling approximately 4,700 (plus 200 in Canada) John Deere Gator XUV590 and XUV590 S4 utility vehicles because hardware in the powertrain can vibrate loose, causing the throttle to stick. This defect can prevent the operator from stopping the vehicle, leading to a crash. John Deere has received two reports of the throttle cable sticking, though no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold in green and yellow, olive drab, and camouflage patterns at John Deere dealers nationwide between September 2017 and August 2018. Consumers should stop using the vehicles and contact an authorized dealer for a free inspection and repair.
