Reason the product is recalled
The canopies were not built to design specifications and exceed the weight that can be attached to the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) of some tractors. This extra weight could have a long-term effect on the integrity of the ROPS.
The hazards to consumers
There is a risk of injury in the event of a tractor rollover.
What consumers should do
Stop using compact utility tractors with an affected canopy attached (or remove the canopy) and contact an authorised John Deere dealer. The John Deere dealer will perform a free repair on behalf of A&I Products.
Owners on record will be sent a letter to inform them of the recall and instruct them to contact an authorised John Deere dealer for a free repair. A Product Improvement Program is being developed that will replace the steel canopy top with one that meets specifications.
