John Deere Compact Utility Tractors
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
John Deere is recalling certain compact tractors with model numbers 3032E and 3038E due to a defect in the transaxle differential. An incorrectly sized differential was installed in these tractors, which affects the engagement of the differential lock and causes the tractor to veer left when the brake is applied. This unsafe behavior poses a risk of collision and injury to operators and bystanders. The recalled tractors can be identified by their model number painted on the side and their serial number located on the tractor frame above the front wheel to the right of the operator.
Consumers who own one of the affected tractors should stop using it immediately and contact a John Deere dealer to schedule a free repair. John Deere will directly contact registered owners of the recalled tractors, and dealers have been notified of the recall.
