CPSC, Deere & Company Recall Gator Utility Vehicles

CPSC · 01511 · published 2001-03-20

CPSC campaign 01511

Hazard

During manufacturing, an extra internal vent line was attached to the plastic vent fitting on some fuel tanks. If the fuel inside the gas tank expands, it can leak out through the extra vent line and onto the ground, presenting fire and burn hazards.

Remedy

Stop using the vehicle immediately. If it is stored inside, push the vehicle outside to a well-ventilated area and loosen the fuel cap (one-quarter turn) to equalize pressure. Consumers should call the John Deere Dealer where the vehicle was purchased, to get a free inspection and repair.
