- 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.
- Notes
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Club Car been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Club Car dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
