John Deere Co. in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled certain Winch Kits containing 8 post contactors. The 8 post contactor may fail resulting in excessive heat within the contactor. Under rare circumstances, the contactor could potentially create a fire hazard.

If you have a 4 post contactor no further action is required. If you have an 8 post contactor, please call your nearest John Deere ATV dealership to set up an appointment to have the 8 post contactor replaced with a 4 post contactor. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact John Deere’s Customer Contact Center at (800) 537-8233 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Saturday, or at the John Deere Web site at www.deere.com.
