Yamaha has recalled approximately 145,000 model year 2016 through 2018 gas and electric-powered golf cars, personal transportation, and specialty vehicles, including the Drive and Adventurer models. The accelerator pedal return spring on these vehicles can break, which poses a serious crash hazard. Yamaha has received 417 reports of spring failures, though no injuries have been reported at this time. These vehicles were sold in various colors including blue, green, red, white, tan, and silver at Yamaha golf car dealers nationwide from June 2015 through August 2018. Consumers should stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a Yamaha dealer for a free repair.
The accelerator pedal return spring can snap during operation, which may prevent the pedal from returning to the idle position or cause unpredictable speed control. This mechanical failure can lead to a loss of vehicle control and a crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a Yamaha golf car dealer to schedule a free repair. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
