BIRMINGHAM, AL — Club Car, the maker of golf Cars and other personalized transportation alternatives, announced a recall on some of its vehicles. According to CBS 42, gas-powered golf Cars and other gas-powered vehicles made by Club Car have a manufacturing defect that could start a fire. Fires could result in physical injuries, burns, loss of life, and property damage if the Club Car catches fire while in operation or while parked in a garage or near a home. The company says that 7,000 of the recalled vehicles were sold in the U.S. and another 2,000 were sold in Canada.  Club Car has identified the problem and will repair the vehicle without charging the owner. 

Club Car is well-known for its golf Cars as well as other short-distance vehicles such as shuttles that scoot people around. The vehicles are widely reputed for their safety and convenience. Despite their reputation, Club Car announced that it must recall their 2019 vehicles because of the threat they could spontaneously combust. The problem stems from fuel leaks in their gas-powered carts. The company said that no one sustained any injuries, and no property damage was reported. However, the company did receive three complaints from owners that their new vehicle was leaking fuel. Those reports prompted the recall. 

The recalled Club Cars were manufactured and sold between August of 2018 and July of 2019. The vehicles have a retail price from anywhere between $7,000.00 and $11,000.00. Owners of the recalled Club Cars will receive a notification from the company directly instructing them how to go about having the repairs on their carts completed. Until then, Club Car and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommend that owners must not use their vehicles until the recall repairs are made because of the threat that a fuel leak could start a fire. Any owner can contact Club Car directly to expedite the process.

SunSetter Motorized Patio Awnings Recalled

SunSetter motorized patio awning personal Injury lawsuit lawyers

U.S. Recall News reports that the company that manufactures the SunSetter motorized patio awnings issued an immediate recall because of a faulty motor that could allow the awning to spring open an injure the user. Specifically, the company has recalled the awning covers, according to a press release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. To date, one person has died from an injury sustained when attempting to use the SwingSetter. Preliminarily, it appears that the motor for the automatic awning switched on while the awning was still leashed with a bungee cord tie-down. The awning could hit someone in the way after the user removes the cover because the awning will spring out unexpectedly. 

The SunSetter cover recalled is for a wall-mounted unit that operates with a motor. Consistent with the Consumer Product Safety Commission announcement, the company has recalled 270,000 units that were sold domestically in the U.S. and another 11,000 sold in Canada. All of the recalled units were sold between June of 1999 and January of 2019. The recall applies to the motorized awnings only. The SunSetter awnings that open manually are not included in this recall.

At this time, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of 14 incidents in which the motorized awning sprung loose. Six people suffered varying degrees of injury from being hit by the device, and one person died. The person who perished was a 73-year-old man who fell off of a ladder and then over a balcony railing when the awning sprung open while he was trying to remove the tie-downs.

All motorized SunSetter owners are advised to contact the company regarding the recall. The company will distribute breakaway safety clips to replace the bungee tie-downs. For its effort, SunSetter is contacting owners of the motorized devices to inform them about the recall and the appropriate steps to take to repair the awning.
