If the battery cables and wire harness leads of the lawn mower are improperly routed underneath the seat, they could potentially be pinched by the seat pan.
The front cab support bolts were not torqued to specification, which may cause them to break, loosen, or fall out of place, which may cause the cab to detach.
The correct safety labels may be missing from some of the 2025R tractors.
The throttle wire assembly may not have been routed properly on some 2018 and 2019 Model Z100 zero turn mowers.
The lawn mowers were incorrectly supplied with a single direction vented fuel cap. The proper fuel cap should be a dual direction vented fuel cap.
The coolant reserve tank cap may be clogged by plastic produced during the injection moulding process.
The roll over protection system (ROPS) retention bolts may not have been properly tightened during the final assembly process.
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.
Information about the proper ballast when the loader is attached to a John Deere model 2025R tractor is missing from the operator’s manual.
There is a potential weakness in the nut and bolt used to secure the bottom steering shaft to the steering gearbox. The resulting inadequate clamp load at the yoke-to-shaft connection can result in excessive play or looseness in the steering.
The seat switch for the operator presence control may fail.
The Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) retaining bolts may have been over torqued and stretched, which could cause the bolts to break.
The fuel line in the identified lawn tractors was not routed behind the tank guard. This may allow the fuel line to contact and rub against the transmission belt.
A gear can fail in the transmission.

A manufacturing defect may lead to spalling on the blade support.
The steering shaft of affected units may have reduced torsional strength due to machining issues.
The fuel filter may fail due to becoming excessively brittle.
The seat has the potential to come loose during operation if the top nut and bottom nut that hold the seat in place are not torqued correctly.
The ride-on mowers have a faulty engine ignition module.
Engines fitted with the affected Kohler digital ignition modules may fail.
