John Deere is recalling approximately 4,650 Gator RSX850i Base, Sport, and Trail model recreational utility vehicles because the fuel line can separate. There have been three reports of separated fuel lines, which can lead to fuel leaks and a high risk of fire. These two-person vehicles were manufactured between May 2012 and October 2012 and were sold in various colors including camo, olive/black, and traditional green/yellow. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a John Deere dealer for a free inspection and repair.
If the fuel line separates during use, fuel can leak onto hot engine components, creating a fire hazard. While John Deere has received three reports of fuel line separation, no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact a John Deere dealer to schedule a free inspection and free repair. John Deere is contacting all registered owners of the recalled utility vehicles directly.
