John Deere owners will get the right to repair equipment under FTC settlement

The Federal Trade Commission and several state attorneys general reached a right-to-repair settlement with Deere & Co. that requires John Deere to provide diagnostic and repair tools to equipment owners and independent repair shops, not just authorized dealers. The agreement bars retaliation against those who fix their own equipment and imposes 10 years of compliance oversight, with Deere paying $1 million to the five states for enforcement costs. The settlement comes after a separate $99 million class-action settlement with farmers earlier this year, marking Deere's second right-to-repair agreement this year.
