There was a recall on the 3 point arms for the 2 series tractors, but it's gotta be about 3 years old at this point. I don't remember what the reason was for the recall, but I don't think there where any known failures, more of a long term reliability concern. If you've had your tractor for less than 2-3 years, you should be all set. Guess the dealer forgot about one!

Does anyone know whether the same thing applied to Kioti tractors? I've never read about any issues.

Thanks. I never got a notice. So, one would assume my tractor wasn't affected because I didn't get one? I'm not sure I trust that Kioti would have sent me something since I never got any of the loader letters.

I have an 08 CT335 and my dealer informed me about the recall as well and came out to my place to replace the 3pt arms at no charge to me

Too bad Z that you did not know about the washers not being in the front rims when they did your arms BTW how did you make out with that.

They gave me new front lug studs, nuts, and washers, and I supplied the labor and a $35 tap to chase out the buggered holes in the hub

Glad you got it back up and running guess that was the least they could do I will tell you this I went out there the night you first posted on that and checked all my wheels infact I really went over everything with a fine toothed comb the best I could I know that cooler is going to get me I just hope it goes while it is still under their warranty.
