Consumers should stop using the recalled fleet golf cars immediately and contact an authorized Yamaha Golf Car dealer to schedule a free inspection of the passenger-side brake cable routing. If the cable was misrouted, the dealer will replace the cable with a new, properly routed cable. For consumers who cannot take the recalled golf car to an authorized dealer, a Yamaha dealer will provide transportation of the golf car or will inspect and, if necessary, install a new, properly routed cable at the location of the golf car.
The firm has received six reports of the passenger-side brake cable breaking due to improper routing. No injuries have been reported.
