John Deere EZtrak Zero Turn Lawn Mowers with Foot Lift and Zero Turn Mowers with Premium Foot Lift Kit
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
John Deere is recalling Z445 mowers with 54-inch high capacity decks and Z445 or Z465 zero-turn mowers equipped with premium foot lift features. The problem involves a bolt in the right-hand steering lever that can catch on the foot lift stop tab and lock in place, causing the steering lever to remain in the forward travel position, which creates an injury hazard to the driver. The recall affects specific serial number ranges of these mowers, and the BM22809 Premium Foot Lift Kit may also have been installed on certain units within identified serial number ranges for both the Z445 and Z465 models.
Affected customers should immediately stop using the mowers and contact a John Deere dealer to arrange for the lift stop bracket to be removed from their machine. All John Deere tractor dealers have been notified of the recall, and registered owners of the recalled mowers will be contacted directly by John Deere.
