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.
