    John Deere 3000 TWENTY and 4000 TWENTY series recall

    Deere & Company Press Release - July 7, 2006

    In voluntary cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Deere & Company is recalling certain 3000 TWENTY Series and 4000 TWENTY Series Compact Utility Tractors (CUTs).

    PROBLEM:
    There is the possibility that some of the seat belt brackets welded onto the seat's pivot plate bracket of the 3000 TWENTY Series and 4000 TWENTY Series Compact Utility Tractors may fail. Failure of the seat belt bracket could adversely affect the use of the seat belt, which is intended to protect the tractor operator in the event of a roll over. The suspect seat belt brackets are where the seat belt fastens to the seat.

    PRODUCT:
    John Deere models in the following serial number ranges.

    WHAT TO DO:

    1. Please contact your John Deere Dealer immediately to make arrangements for installation of improved parts. All parts will be installed without cost to you.
    2. If the welds on the seat belt bracket are cracked or the seat belt bracket has already failed, do not drive the tractor until your John Deere Dealer has repaired it. Note: The suspect seat belt brackets are the brackets that the seat belt retractor and buckle bolt to; one on the left side of the seat and one on the right side.
    3. Inform everyone who operates the tractor of the potential danger.
