John Deere issued a recall of about 164,700 compact utility tractors in the U.S. and Canada due to potential crash hazards.
The agricultural manufacturer company noted that the product’s front bell crank in the brake linkage could fail, leading to the risk of an accident occurring, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The brand has received one report of a hospitalization, two impact injuries and minor property damage to tractors.
The recall covers 1023E, 1025R and 2025R compact utility tractors sold in both green and yellow with the model number and “John Deere” printed on the hood.
The recalled tractors were sold at John Deere dealers nationwide from November 2017 through July 2024 for between $12,700 and $21,000.
