John Deere Recalls Lawn Tractors Due to Laceration Hazard

Hazard

Hardware used to hold the mower blade brake assemblies on the mower decks can break. This can cause the mower blades to spin longer than normal after the operator turns off the power, posing a laceration hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lawn tractors and contact the company for a free hardware inspection and repair.
