What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly reports one minor injury and three reports of braking failures, indicating a risk-of-harm product where injury has occurred. This meets the High severity criterion of injury reported for a hazard involving loss of critical safety function (braking and propulsion).

Plain-English summary

Deere & Company of Moline, Illinois is recalling about 160 John Deere X380 and X390 lawn tractors. The tractors are green and yellow with John Deere and the model name printed on the side. The serial number is located on the frame on the front right side near the engine.

The wheel hubs were not manufactured to specifications and can fail, causing the tractor to lose braking and propulsion, which poses crash and injury hazards. The company has received three reports of lawn tractors not braking properly, and one minor injury resulting in bruises and abrasions has been reported.

The recalled tractors were sold through John Deere dealers nationwide and online at John Deere.com from April 2022 through May 2022 for between $5,000 and $6,300.
