Club Car Golf Cars and Hospitality, Utility and Transport Vehicles
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The brake pedal mounting blocks can crack and separate, resulting in a loss of braking ability. This can result in a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
