Having the right tools is a main component of being able to complete the work that has to be done. UTV or Utility Vehicles are popular tools around our state for getting the work that needs to be done, done. 

If you’re one of the many Utility Vehicle owners, here’s a little heads up, a popular brand has recalled seven models. 

According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Kubota Tractor Corporation has recalled their RTV line of Utility Vehicles.  

The problem is that the ball joint that is connected to the front suspension arm can become loose and then separate from the suspension arm causing the driver to lose wheel support which of course, could lead to a crash. 

The Model Numbers are as follows with the last five digits of the serial number: 

RTV520                               10004-25434 and X0005-X0507        

RTV-X1120                          41413-41489 

RTV-X1130                          10003-11962 

RTV-X1140                           55080-80440 

RTV-X                                   10001-16796 

RTV-X900                              79863- 80047      

RTV-X1100C                        77675-97306 

These vehicles were sold from January 2021 through December 2024 with prices ranging between $11,000 and $27,000. 

No injuries have been reported to this point, but Kubota and the Consumer Product Safety Commission say that you should stop using this vehicle immediately. 

The repair for this vehicle can be done for free at authorized Kubota dealers, you should contact the authorized dealer near you for an appointment and inspection.
