John Deere accused of ‘excluding’ right-to-repair language in its manuals
Senator Elizabeth Warren says the omission could be in violation of the Clean Air Act.
By omitting information about repair rights and pollution control systems, Warren alleges that John Deere could be in violation of the Clean Air Act. Warren requests that John Deere respond to a list of questions in its letter by October 17th, including whether all of its written materials now comply with federal regulations when it comes to right to repair. She argues that John Deere hasn’t made good on its commitment anyway, as she cites a July 2023 report by consumer advocacy group US PIRG Education Fund that finds that the company wasn’t providing adequate software tools for people to independently make repairs.
