WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Deere & Co DE.N is recalling
John Deere lawn tractors because a brake arm can fail, making
them a crash hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
said on Tuesday.
The recall by the Moline, Illinois, company covers about
1,700 lawn tractors. Another 370 were sold in Canada, the
commission said in a statement.
The recall affects John Deere lawn tractor models D110,
D125, D130, D140, D155, D160 and D170 with serial numbers
beginning with 1GXD, it said.
No injuries or incidents have been reported. The lawn
tractors were sold at Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) HD.N , Lowe's Cos Inc
LOW.N and other John Deere dealers from May to August for
between $1,700 and $2,700.
The lawn tractors were made in the United States.
