Yamaha Drive2 fleet golf cars recalled for brake cable failure

The passenger-side brake cable on certain Yamaha Drive2 Electric Fleet Golf Cars (model years 2021–2022) may have been installed incorrectly during manufacturing. This misrouting can cause the cable to wear abnormally and break during use, which could cause a loss of braking control and serious injury or death.

Stop using the golf car immediately if you own a 2021 or 2022 Yamaha Drive2 AC-L or J5B.
Contact an authorized Yamaha Golf Car dealer to schedule a free inspection and cable replacement.
If you cannot bring the golf car to a dealer, Yamaha will transport it or inspect and repair it at your location at no cost.
Check your golf car's serial number (located under the seat on the frame) to confirm it is affected.

Hazard

The recalled golf cars' 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.

Remedy

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.
