“An error in the ECU (Engine Control Unit) software can result in the speedometer and several speed-related safety systems not functioning as designed, posing a crash hazard and risk of injury,” CPSC said. “Deere & Company has received four reports of speedometers malfunctioning.”
The serial number is located on the frame on the rear of the machine above the hitch and begins with 1M0590. The recalled UTVs were sold in green and yellow, olive drab, and camouflage, and have 4-wheel suspension with side-by-side seating for 2 or 4 people.
Affected Gator UTVs were sold at John Deere dealers nationwide from October 2020 through April 2021 for between $11,100 and $14,100.
Consumers who purchased a recalled Gator UTV should stop using it immediately and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free software update.
