Yamaha expands golf car recall to over 352,000 vehicles

WASHINGTON — Yamaha has expanded its recall on golf cars to now include more than 352,000 vehicles due to a crash hazard. The recall is an expansion to previous recalls dating back as early as 2018 after the company discovered a crash risk. 

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the accelerator pedal spring on the impacted vehicles “can fail to return to idle when a consumer stops pressing the accelerator pedal, posing a crash hazard.”

Yamaha initially recalled 306,000 vehicles in 2018, 5,000 in 2022 and 11,000 in 2023. The recall has now been expanded to include model year 2016 Yamaha Drive Gas/Electric, model years 2017-2024 Drive 2 Gas/Electric, model years 2016-2018 Adventurer, and model years 2019-2024 UMAX golf car vehicles. 

These vehicles were sold between July 2015 and December 2024 at Yamaha dealers nationwide.

While Yamaha has documented 2,200 incidents involving accelerator pedal failures, no injuries have been reported.

Customers with impacted vehicles are instructed to stop using the golf cars, even if they had them repaired after previous recalls. Yamaha Golf Car dealers are offering free replacements of the accelerator pedal spring assembly.
