Deere & Company and Kawasaki Motors are recalling approximately 4,340 John Deere TH, TS, and TX-model Gator™ utility vehicles equipped with Kawasaki FE, FH, and FJ series engines. These vehicles were sold nationwide between November 2011 and August 2012. The fuel filter on these engines can leak, which creates a significant risk of fire. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date, but consumers should stop using affected vehicles immediately and contact a John Deere dealer for a free fuel filter replacement.
The engine's fuel filter can leak gasoline, which can ignite and cause a fire, potentially leading to property damage or serious injury. Because the leak occurs near the engine components, the risk of fire is elevated during or after operation.
Consumers should stop using utility vehicles with the recalled engines and contact a John Deere dealer to have the fuel filter replaced. John Deere is contacting all registered owners of the recalled utility vehicles directly.
