Yamaha Golf Car Recall Overview<\/h1>\n

Last month Yamaha Golf Car announced the recall of approximately 145,000 golf cars, personal transportation vehicles (PTVs) and utility vehicles.??The accelerator pedal return spring can break on the vehicles, posing a crash hazard. The recall involves model year??2016 through 2018 gas and electric-powered golf cars, personal transportation and specialty vehicles. Model names include the Drive, Drive2, Adventurer and Adventurer Sport 2+2.??Owners should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a Yamaha golf car dealer to schedule a free repair. There have been no reports of injuries related to the recall but 417 spring failures have been reported.<\/p>\n

This is an extremely large recall and rivals those of Polaris from the past several years. Yamaha had a slightly larger recall earlier<\/a> in the year involving many of the same models for a brake cable issue. SVR tracks recalls<\/a> of golf cars, PTVs, PSVs and UTVs. In general, the small, task-oriented vehicle industry appears to have a recall problem. A significant number of vehicles are being recalled every year. The following detailed information on this recall is from the Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n
