Deere & Company of Moline, Ill., is recalling about 190 John Deere X380 and X390 lawn tractors sold in the U.S. and Canada.
The wheel hubs were not manufactured to specifications and can fail, causing the tractor to lose braking and propulsion. This issue poses an increased risk of crash and injury hazards.
The firm has received three reports of the lawn tractor not braking properly, resulting in one minor injury resulting in bruises and abrasions.
The tractors are green and yellow with “John Deere” and the model number printed on the side. The serial number is located on the frame on the front right side of the machine near the engine. A list of the recalled serial number ranges may be found here.
The lawn tractors, manufactured in the U.S., were sold at John Deere dealers nationwide and online at John Deere.com in April 2022, and May 2022, for between $5,000 and $6,300.
