BX Recalls/List of factory updates

[DEERFIELD]

Is there a link or a consolidated list by BX tractor model number of the several recalls/factory and/or dealer updates for BX models going back 10 years to late 2006?

For example, within a year or so of purchase my BX2350 had the floor supports replaced and strengthened due to cracking plastic; the seat was replaced following under-publicized announcement from Kubota. Inquiries made at Kubota dealers bring grins but no info.

That would be some very valuable info. Messicks maybe will chime in.

I don't know of a list, but maybe we can put one together.
I have a BX24 from April 2006. I have had all the updates available before my warranty was up.

seat replaced
bracket for seat- a small bracket that keeps a rod engaged in swivel seat assy.
grille/battery cover
rear fender was updated with more reinforcing braces molded in.( I actually had the fenders replaced twice before the bracing and updated part)
support brackets for floor/ fender.
I thought there was another, but I'm drawing a blank.
I did just get a recent recall notice for another seat part. I haven't looked into it yet.
Does anyone else know of anything I missed?

Dad and I both have BX2230's. Mine has a nicer seat with Kubota on it. His seat is bad, sloped bottom and no Kubota on it. Would that be a replacement seat from Kubota? How does one pursue issue with dealer if dealer just grins? Jon

If I recall correctly, the last recall had to do with assuring the nuts located under the seat in the middle were tight.

Time frame of this recall? I wonder if I need to register my BX2230's for future recalls? Jon

John,
Only a guess but it was a year+ ago. However, it would make sense to register regardless of the last recall, in case there are more in the future. One never knows...

I never received a single recall notice but was able to buy a new seat for $50... which I thought well worth the money and a nice gesture on Kubota's part.

The only thing I would call lacking in design is the air cleaner bracket as there have been several designs if memory serves.

I started out with the original sloped seat, this was upgraded. I don't remember if there was any out of pocket cost. The latest recall is just a nut on the seat.
the updated seat was available around 2008 if I remember correctly.

I wonder if we can still get a replacement seat (because dad's BX2230 has the sloped seat). Any ideas? Jon
