Why it was recalled
The front bell crank in the brake linkage can fail causing the tractor to lose braking, resulting in a crash hazard.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tractors and contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule an appointment to bring the tractor into the dealer for a free repair. If the consumer is not able to transport the tractor to a dealer's location, then the dealer will make arrangements to repair the unit at the consumer's residence.
