John Deere is recalling 3,300 Compact Utility Tractors after determining the rollover protective structure (ROPS) at the back of the tractor can loosen and fail to protect drivers during a rollover accident, resulting in an increased risk of injury.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), John Deere has issued a recall for their 1023E and 1025R compact utility tractors due to a lack of rollover protection provided by the vehicles’ rollover protective structure (ROPS).
The recall affects units sold nationwide from March 2017 through October 2017 for between $12,000 and $13,900.
Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled compact utility tractors and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free repair.
