Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Yamaha is recalling approximately 2,000 golf cars and Personal Transportation Vehicles (PTVs) from the 2015 and 2016 model years. The front wheel hubs on these vehicles can crack, which can cause the front wheels to detach while the vehicle is in motion. This defect creates a crash hazard for drivers, passengers, and bystanders. The affected vehicles were sold in various colors, including blue, green, red, white, tan, and silver, between April 2015 and June 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The front wheel hubs can crack and fail, causing the wheels to fall off the vehicle during use. This poses a significant crash hazard that could result in serious injury or death to the user or people nearby.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled 2015 or 2016 Yamaha golf car or Personal Transportation Vehicle (PTV).
  2. Locate the serial number on the label under the driver's seat on either the left or right side to confirm if your vehicle is affected.
  3. Check your serial number against the following affected ranges: The DRIVE PTV (JC0-606306 to 606698), The DRIVE EFI (JC2-209964 to 210300), Adventurer One (JW6-700581 to 700600), The DRIVE (JW8-513800 to 514310), and The DRIVE Electric/A.C. (JW9-515401 to 516300 or JC3-001701 to 001900).
