Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180814-AA885-2147386172. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: John Deere L110 (John Deere L110 Riding Lawn Tractor serial #GXL110A256761. This tractor only has 144.9 hours of use). Incident: RE: John Deere L110 Riding Lawn Tractor serial #GXL110A256761: The plastic gas tank separated at the plastic welded seem causing it to leak fuel. This tractor only has 144.9 hours of use. This appears to be the same issue on other John Deere lawn tractors. January 4, 2002, Alert #02-517 Deere & Company of Moline, Ill., is voluntarily recalling about 8,000 LT lawn tractors. The tractors have a 38", 42" or 48" mower deck, a 13 to 16 horsepower engine, and are green with yellow trim. "John Deere" and the model number are printed on the hood of the tractor. Models: LT133A, LT155B, LT155C, LT166E, LT166F, LT166G AND LT166J. PROBLEM: The fuel tank can crack and leak fuel, posing a fire hazard and risk of burn injuries to consumers. I have contacted John Deere and they refuse to do anything about this issue.
