John Deere Recalls ZTrak Riding Mowers Due to Laceration Hazard (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Deere & Company has recalled approximately 3,700 John Deere residential ZTrak™ riding mowers, including models Z335M, Z345M, Z345R, Z355R, and Z375R. These green and yellow mowers were sold at John Deere dealers and HomeDepot.com between August 2017 and December 2017. The mower's blades can continue to rotate under power even after the operator has left the seat, which can cause serious injuries. Consumers should immediately stop using these mowers and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The safety system may fail to shut off the blades when the operator gets off the mower, allowing the blades to continue spinning under power. This poses a significant laceration risk to the operator or any bystanders who may be near the machine.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the model number (Z335M, Z345M, Z345R, Z355R, or Z375R) and 'John Deere' name printed on the front of the green and yellow riding mower.
  2. Check the serial number on the rear frame near the engine. Affected mowers begin with '1GX' and fall within the following ranges: 1GX335MB+++080001 - 080545, 1GX335MC+++080001 - 080020, 1GXZ345B+++064067 - 064200, 1GX345MB+++080001 - 081117, 1GX345MC+++080001 - 080095, 1GX345MD+++080001 - 080010, 1GX345ME+++080002 - 080112, 1GXZ345R+++064384 - 064764, 1GX345RB+++080001 - 080491, 1GX345RC+++080001 - 080020, 1GX345RE+++080001 - 080064, 1GXZ355R+++064088 - 064253, 1GX355RB+++080001 - 080206, 1GX355RC+++080001 - 080010, 1GX375RF+++080001 - 080327, and 1GX375RG+++080001 - 080025.
