Kubota RTV 400/500 recall for steering shaft?

[gspren]

   Did anyone else here of this? I got a letter from Kubota yesterday saying not to use it until it's fixed so I Googled it and couldn't find anything. The dealer where I bought it isn't a dealer anymore so I'll be calling another.

No word here yet on my RTV500, but my mail is being forwarded from NY.

Yes, I got mine yesterday for my 500. Seems they have to take the cap off of the steering wheel and there is a shaft about 10 inches long down in the steering that has to be changed out.
My dealer will be doing mine next week.

   I called a Kubota dealer today and he will call me when he gets the parts. I hope they will do it while I wait as its over 30 miles out of my way.

Oops mine is a 900 maybe a different setup.

900 are not on recall, just 400 and 500.

All 500's or certain years?

I think its the ones made before 2015. But don't hold me to it.

My brother bought one early last year.  I texted him and asked if he got a letter yet. He indicated he had not.  Thanks for information. As stated Google search and checking Kubota site turned up only the 10/13 recall.
