Yamaha Recalls 2021-2025 Golf Cars for Missing Stop Lights

Yamaha is recalling about 19,300 Model Year 2021-2025 golf cars because they lack stop lights, creating a crash risk. Consumers should stop using them and contact Yamaha dealers for free installation of stoplights.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The rubric specifies that when no injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical, the maximum score is 3. Although the source states the risk is for serious injury or death, it explicitly reports no injuries to date, placing this in the High category rather than Severe.

Plain-English summary

This recall covers Model Year 2021-2025 Yamaha Drive 2 Personal Transportation Vehicles (golf cars) sold nationwide between June 2020 and July 2025. The affected vehicles were sold through Yamaha dealers for between $8,300 and $12,900.

The recalled golf cars lack stop lights, which poses a risk of serious injury or death in crash situations. Without functional stop lights, other vehicles and pedestrians cannot see when the golf car is stopping, increasing the likelihood of collisions.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. Yamaha is providing a free remedy: consumers should contact an authorized Yamaha Golf Car dealer to schedule installation of two stoplights. For consumers unable to bring their vehicle to a dealer, Yamaha will provide transportation or install the stoplights on-site.

Consumers can contact Yamaha toll-free at 866-747-4027 (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET daily), by email at [email protected], or through their recall pages at yamahamotorsports.com or yamaha-motor.com.
