Kubota Tractor Corporation has recalled approximately 3,170 RTV-XG850 "Sidekick" utility vehicles because the steering shaft or system may have been improperly assembled. This defect can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, posing crash and collision hazards. These vehicles were sold in various colors at authorized Kubota dealers nationwide between March 2023 and September 2023 for between $14,500 and $18,200. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair.
Improper assembly of the steering system can lead to a sudden loss of steering control while the vehicle is in motion. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, loss of control significantly increases the risk of a crash or collision.
