Country	Japan
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-07-11
Country of origin	日本
Manufacturer	Kubota Corporation
Models affected	KR217, KR220
Units affected	306
Defect	In the crop divider (a device for separating crops during harvesting and threshing operations) of the combine harvester, due to an inappropriate manufacturing method, some dimensions exceed the design values. When installed on the main unit, the vehicle width may exceed 1,700mm. Since the vehicle is not equipped with the necessary lighting equipment (clearance lamps, tail lamps, stop lamps, reverse lamps, rear-view mirrors) required when the vehicle width exceeds 1,700mm, there is a risk of non-compliance with safety standards.
Component	Other equipment (crop divider)
Remedy	Replace all affected crop dividers with parts that have improved dimensions.
