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

Agency Publication Date: May 20, 2021

Summary

John Deere is recalling approximately 90 Gator XUV590 and XUV590 S4 utility vehicles sold between October 2020 and April 2021. The vehicles were sold in green and yellow, olive drab, and camouflage patterns at John Deere dealers nationwide. An error in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) software can cause the speedometer and speed-related safety systems to fail, potentially leading to a crash. Owners should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a dealer for a free software update.

Risk

A software error in the Engine Control Unit can cause the speedometer and critical speed-related safety systems to malfunction while the vehicle is in operation. Deere & Company has already received four reports of speedometers malfunctioning, which creates a crash hazard that could result in serious injury.

What You Should Do

Immediately stop using the recalled John Deere Gator utility vehicles.
Check your vehicle for model number 'XUV590' or 'XUV590 S4' printed on the hood and verify 'John Deere' and 'Gator' are printed on the cargo box.
Locate the serial number on the frame at the rear of the machine above the hitch to see if it begins with 1M0590 and matches one of the 90 affected numbers listed in the recall notice.
Contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule a free repair. You can find a dealer or get more information by calling the John Deere customer service line at 800-537-8233 or visiting www.deere.com.
