Yamaha is recalling about 16,000 model year 2017 through 2019 golf cars, personal transportation vehicles, and utility vehicles. The USB voltage-regulator module in these vehicles can overheat and melt, which has resulted in five reported fire incidents and 100 reports of melted components. Affected models include the Drive2 Fleet, Adventurer Two, UMAX TWO, and UMAX Rally, sold in colors like blue, green, red, white, tan, and silver. Yamaha is providing a free repair through its authorized dealers to replace the faulty power modules.
The module regulating power to the vehicle's USB ports can overheat and melt during use. This creates a direct fire hazard, which has already caused five fire incidents and damaged 100 voltage-reducer modules.
Consumers should immediately stop using the USB charging device in the recalled vehicles and contact a Yamaha golf car dealer to schedule a free repair. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
