About This Product

Drive 2 PTV golf cars are personal transportation vehicles used on golf courses and some private properties. They come in several color options and are marketed for reliable short-distance transport.

Why This Is Dangerous

A missing stop light means other drivers may not realize the vehicle is turning or stopping. This can lead to collisions and serious injuries or fatalities.

Industry Context

This recall is not described as part of a broader industry pattern in the notice.

Real-World Impact

Owners must halt use immediately to reduce crash risk. The remedy provides safety improvements at no cost and can include on-site installation.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Check the model year and serial number prefixes on the vehicle: J2D, J0D, J0E, J5C
  2. Compare serial numbers against the ranges listed in Yamaha's recall notice
  3. If numbers match, the cart is affected

Where to find product info

Look for the model name on the left and right sides of the vehicle. Serial numbers appear in locations that vary by model; contact Yamaha if unsure.

What timeline to expect

Remedy scheduling depends on dealer availability; most owners should anticipate a short wait for an appointment after eligibility is confirmed.

If the manufacturer is unresponsive

  • Persist with the dealer or Yamaha's recall line
