Reported Aug 15, 2002 · CLUB CAR, INC.
Summary
CERTAIN 2-PASSENGER, OPEN BODY, VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 500, "LOW-SPEED VEHICLES." ELECTRICAL RELAYS RATED FOR 12-VOLTS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN PLACE OF RELAYS RATED FOR 48-VOLTS.
Consequence
THE 12-VOLT RELAYS SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL DUE TO OVERVOLTAGE, RENDERING THE BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE. INOPERABLE BRAKE LAMPS WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN OPERATED IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.
Remedy
CLUB CAR WILL PROVIDE FIELD TEAMS TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION AND REPLACE PARTS AS REQUIRED WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE OWNER OR END USER. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2002. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CLUB CAR AT 1-800-258-2227, EXTENSION 3820.
