Reason for Recall
An internal failure may occur within the Hydrostatic Transmission preventing the transmission from returning to neutral after the pedals are released. This can allow unexpected movement or cause the tractor to continue moving, creating a possible risk of injury to the operator or a bystander.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop using their tractors immediately and contact a John Deere dealer for a free repair.
