Yamaha is expanding its recall to include approximately 352,000 golf cars, personal transportation vehicles, and UMAX utility vehicles across model years 2016 through 2024. The recall affects several models including the Drive, Drive2, Adventurer, and UMAX in various colors. The accelerator pedal spring can fail to return to the idle position when released, causing the vehicle to continue moving. Yamaha has received at least 2,200 reports of accelerator pedal spring failures, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers are being offered a free replacement of the accelerator pedal spring assembly.
The accelerator pedal spring can break or fail to return to the idle position when the driver stops pressing the pedal. This poses a significant crash hazard as the vehicle may not slow down or stop as expected, potentially leading to a collision.
Yamaha is expanding the repair to include a free replacement of the accelerator pedal return spring assembly. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled golf car vehicles (even if they have already had their golf car vehicles repaired as part of prior recalls) and contact an authorized Yamaha Golf Car dealer to schedule a free replacement of the accelerator pedal spring assembly. Consumers who received a repair from a prior recall are being contacted directly by Yamaha with additional information about how to schedule the installation of a replacement accelerator pedal spring assembly. Yamaha dealers are prepared to conduct mobile service and/or provide unit transportation if necessary. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
