What happened

Kubota has recalled model year 2013, 2014, and 2015 RTV400 and RTV500 series gas-powered utility vehicles in orange and camouflage colors. The recalled vehicles have serial numbers ranging from 10001 to 22042 for the RTV400 and 25083 to 40991 for the RTV500. The steering shaft in these vehicles can break, which may cause operators to lose control and create a collision hazard.

Affected consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact an authorized Kubota dealer for a free inspection and free repair. Consumers can identify their vehicle's model and serial number on the side of the unit and on the data plate located on the back of the cab, between the cab and the bed.
