Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Club Car is recalling approximately 4,000 gas and diesel golf cars and utility vehicles from the 2012 model year. The fuel tank filler neck on these vehicles can crack, which allows fuel to leak out. Club Car has received 10 reports of these filler necks cracking, though no fires or injuries have been reported yet. Affected vehicles were sold at authorized dealers nationwide between April 2012 and June 2012 for between $5,500 and $17,700. Consumers should stop using these vehicles immediately and contact Club Car for a free replacement fuel tank.

Risk

The filler neck of the fuel tank can develop cracks, leading to gasoline or diesel leaks. If leaking fuel is exposed to an ignition source, it poses a significant risk of fire and serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled 2012 Club Car vehicle until the fuel tank has been replaced.
  2. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking the model and serial number on the decal located above the passenger's side floor board. The name 'Club Car' is also printed on the front of the vehicles.
  3. Verify your serial number against the affected ranges, which include specific codes for models such as Café Express, Carryall, Turf, DS Gas Golf Car, Precedent, Transporter, Villager, and XRT series produced in 2012.
  4. Contact Club Car at (800) 227-0739 ext. 3831 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to arrange for a free replacement fuel tank. The company is also contacting known purchasers directly.
