What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CERTAIN 2-PASSENGER, OPEN BODY, VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 500, "LOW-SPEED VEHICLES." ELECTRICAL RELAYS RATED FOR 12-VOLTS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN PLACE OF RELAYS RATED FOR 48-VOLTS.

The risk

THE 12-VOLT RELAYS SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL DUE TO OVERVOLTAGE, RENDERING THE BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE. INOPERABLE BRAKE LAMPS WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN OPERATED IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.

The remedy

CLUB CAR WILL PROVIDE FIELD TEAMS TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION AND REPLACE PARTS AS REQUIRED WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE OWNER OR END USER. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2002. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CLUB CAR AT 1-800-258-2227, EXTENSION 3820.

Notes

ALSO, CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
