John Deere Frontier Grooming Mowers Due to Entanglement Injury Hazard (Recall Alert)
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Incorrect assembly of the mower's drivelines can prevent the safety shield from spinning independently, posing an entanglement injury hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
