Plain-English summary

Club Car Inc. of Augusta, Ga., is recalling 158 Lynx hunting vehicles. These off-road vehicles, shaped like golf carts but designed for hunters, were sold at authorized Club Car dealers nationwide from May 2003 through September 2003 for between $4,000 and $5,000. The recalled vehicles have serial number prefixes LX0344 through LX0353 and LX0401 through LX0409, located on a decal just above and to the right of the accelerator pedal.

The recall is due to a defect where the steering connections on the front suspension rack can come loose. This poses a risk of the operator losing control of the vehicle. Club Car has received one report of a hunting vehicle losing steering control, though no injuries have been reported.
