Kubota RTV-X1100C Utility Vehicles Floor Mat Interference Recall

Kubota is recalling about 48,875 RTV-X1100C utility vehicles from model years 2013 through 2021 because floor mats can warp or degrade and interfere with the throttle pedal, creating crash and injury risks.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The hazard involves a risk of crash and loss of vehicle control, which is a significant risk of serious injury even though only minor injury has been reported to date. This fits the rubric criterion for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported at a serious level.

Plain-English summary

Kubota Tractor Corporation is recalling about 48,875 RTV-X1100C model utility vehicles, including certain variants with additional letters after the "C" (such as the 1100CR). The recalled vehicles are model years 2013 through 2021 with serial numbers ranging from 10001 through 67546. These vehicles were sold through authorized Kubota dealers nationwide between April 2013 and September 2021 for prices between $21,300 and $22,950.

The floor mats in these vehicles can warp or degrade over time. When this occurs, the mats can interfere with the throttle pedal, posing hazards of loss of control and crash. Kubota has received one report of a loss of control incident that resulted in black eyes and minor bruising.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact an authorized Kubota dealer. If the floor mat is warped or degraded, dealers will replace it with a new mat secured by rivets. If the existing mat is not warped or degraded, dealers will trim it and secure it to the floor with rivets. Kubota is contacting all known consumers directly.
