Kubota announced the recall after 1 report of a driver who lost control, resulting in black eyes and minor bruising.
The recall involves model-year 2013 through 2021 base model Kubota RTV-X1100C Utility Vehicles. Specific models may include an additional letter after the “C,” for example, 1100CR. The recalled units have serial numbers ranging from 10001 through 67546.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact an Authorized Kubota dealer for a new floormat, or a modification to the the existing floormat, and riveting it to the floor.
