Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kubota is recalling about 11,670 Z400 and Z700 series diesel-powered zero turn mowers from model years 2017 and 2018. The rollover protective structure (ROPS) on these orange and black mowers can loosen and fail to function correctly during an accident. These units were sold at authorized dealers nationwide between November 2017 and September 2018 for between $6,500 and $10,000. Owners should immediately stop using these mowers and contact an authorized Kubota dealer for a free inspection and repair.

Risk

The rollover protective structure (ROPS) can loosen over time, which prevents it from protecting the operator if the mower tips over. This failure poses a significant risk of serious injury during a rollover accident.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your mower to see if it is a model year 2017-2018 Kubota Z400 or Z700 series zero turn mower in orange and black.
  2. Locate the model and serial number on the side of the unit or on the data plate on the side of the unit to confirm if it matches the affected serial number ranges: Z411KW-48 (12823-14587), Z421KW-54 (15715-18795), Z421KWT-60 (16864-20127), Z723KH-2-48 (50001-50176), Z724XKW-2-48 (50007-51131), Z724KH-2-54 (50004-50284), Z724XKW-2-54 (50003-51130), Z725KH-2-60 (50001-50657), or Z726XKW-2-60 (50008-52361).
  3. Immediately stop using any recalled mower and contact an authorized Kubota dealer to schedule a free inspection and free repair of the rollover protective structure.
  4. Contact Kubota Tractor Corporation at 888-458-2682 (888-4KUBOTA) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, or visit www.kubotausa.com and click on 'Safety' and 'Safety Notices' for more information.
