Plain-English summary

Model year 2021-2022 Yamaha Drive2 Electric Fleet Golf Cars are being recalled. They were sold in mica, arctic drift, moonstone, carbon, bluestone, garnet, emerald, sunstone and glacier colours, with the serial number located underneath the seat. About 8,650 units are affected in the United States, and about 700 more were sold in Canada.

The passenger-side brake cable could have been misrouted during assembly. If the cable was misrouted, abnormal wear can occur, which can cause the passenger-side cable to break during use, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a crash hazard. The firm has received six reports of the passenger-side brake cable breaking due to improper routing. No injuries have been reported.

The golf cars were sold by Yamaha Golf Car dealers nationwide from March 2021 through September 2024 for between $6,700 and $8,830.

Owners 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.
