Kawasaki Motors USA issued a recall on January 02 for certain John Deere ZTrak Zero Turn Mowers with Kawasaki engines due to an issue with the voltage regulator in the mower's engine. Under specific circumstances, the problem with the voltage regulator means it could fail during use or while the product is being stored, causing the engine to overheat, which poses fire and burn hazards.
Approximately 39,000 mowers sold in the US could be affected, in addition to around 2,600 sold in Canada. The units were sold at authorized John Deere dealers nationwide from October 2018 to September 2024 for between $8,000 and $11,500.
