Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

John Deere is recalling approximately 25,000 model D105 lawn tractors and about 500 service transmissions because the transmission can fail, causing the tractor to lose its ability to move or stop. The recall includes units sold at John Deere dealers, Home Depot, and Lowe's stores between February 2016 and July 2017. While no injuries have been reported, the mechanical failure poses a serious crash hazard to operators. John Deere is providing a free repair for all affected machines.

Risk

The internal transmission components can fail during operation, which may result in a loss of drive and braking capability. This failure can cause the operator to lose control of the lawn tractor, leading to a potential crash or collision.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the model number 'D105' printed on the side of the engine hood and find the serial number on the rear frame of the machine above the left rear tire.
  2. Check if your serial number begins with '1GXD105' and verify it against the complete list of affected units at www.JohnDeere.com/D105-Transmission-Recall.
  3. If your serial number is not on the website but you had your transmission replaced between March 2016 and August 2017, contact your John Deere service dealer to see if the replacement part is included in this recall.
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled lawn tractor and contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule a free repair.
  5. For more information, contact Deere & Company at 800-537-8233 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET, or visit www.deere.com and click on 'Recalls' under the Parts & Service menu.
