The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall for Kubota MX5400DTC utility tractors on Feb. 20, 2025.
The clutch cable can break on the recalled MX5400DTC utility tractors, resulting in reduced braking power, posing a crash hazard. About 2,600 units were sold in the U.S. and another 180 were sold in Canada. The tractors were sold through Kubota’s dealer network between February 2020 and December 2024.
Kubota has received 33 reports of the clutch breaking. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility tractors and contact an authorized Kubota dealer to schedule a free inspection and a free repair at the dealer’s location. Kubota is contacting all known registered owners directly.
