Hazard

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.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using their tractors immediately and contact a John Deere dealer for a free repair.

Incidents & injuries

John Deere is aware of several failures of the transmission, with no reported injuries.
