John Deere X300, X300R and X304 series tractors
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
John Deere is recalling X300, X300R, and X304 Select Series Lawn Tractors with Kawasaki FS541V engines manufactured between September 20, 2010 and July 21, 2011. The cooling fan mounted on top of the front-mounted Kawasaki engine can break, and if it stops working, the engine may overheat. This overheating can cause surrounding plastic parts to melt, which creates a risk of fire and serious injury to users.
If you own one of these tractors, you should stop using it immediately and contact a John Deere dealer to arrange for the cooling fan to be replaced. John Deere will directly notify all registered owners of the recalled mowers. You can identify your tractor's model number on both sides of the hood and find the serial number on the machine frame near the front right tire to determine if your unit is affected.
