What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

American Custom Golf Cars (ACG) is recalling certain 2016-2017 ACG Moke low speed vehicles. These vehicles may be missing the rear side red reflectors, reducing the vehicle's visibility to other drivers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."

The risk

If the rear side red reflectors are missing, the vehicle may have reduced visibility to drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

ACG will notify owners, and dealers will install a different reflector, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2018. Owners may contact ACG customer service at 1-909-597-2885. ACG's number for this recall is ACG-RC2018-02.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
