- Vendor statedWhatever pack is fitted
A 12 V DC-DC step-down converter to feed the cart's 12 V accessories — lights, radio, horn — which lose their supply when the lead-acid string they were tapped off becomes a single 48 V module.

Hazard: The accelerator pedal return spring can break, posing a crash hazard.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a Yamaha golf car dealer to schedule a free repair. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
Our note — not the regulator’s words
Yamaha have recalled this accelerator pedal spring three times: 19701 in October 2018, 23772 in July 2023, and 25321 in June 2025. 25321 is the newest and the widest — about 352,000 vehicles across model years 2016 to 2024 — and it names the other two among the recalls it expands. Its remedy tells owners to stop using the vehicle “even if they have already had their golf car vehicles repaired as part of prior recalls”, and replaces the repair rather than repeating it. So a repair carried out under this 2018 notice is one the 2025 notice says is not enough. Nothing in this notice says that, because it was published seven years earlier. Read 25321 before acting on this page.

Hazard: The accelerator pedal spring can fail to return to idle when a consumer stops pressing the accelerator pedal, posing a crash hazard.
Remedy: Yamaha is expanding the repair to include a free replacement of the accelerator pedal return spring assembly. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled golf car vehicles (even if they have already had their golf car vehicles repaired as part of prior recalls) and contact an authorized Yamaha Golf Car dealer to schedule a free replacement of the accelerator pedal spring assembly. Consumers who received a repair from a prior recall are being contacted directly by Yamaha with additional information about how to schedule the installation of a replacement accelerator pedal spring assembly. Yamaha dealers are prepared to conduct mobile service and/or provide unit transportation if necessary. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
Our note — not the regulator’s words
Yamaha have recalled this accelerator pedal spring three times: 19701 in October 2018, 23772 in July 2023, and 25321 in June 2025. This is the newest of them and it expands the other two, so it is the one to act on. It covers vehicles already repaired under the earlier notices: its remedy is a replacement of the accelerator pedal return spring assembly, not a re-inspection.

This recall covers only some units of this product. Check the recall notice against your own unit before concluding whether it is affected.
Units covered: On certain golf cars, personal transportation, and specialty vehicles, the accelerator pedal return spring may break. If this happens, the accelerator would not return to the home position when released, so the vehicle may not slow without use of the brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Affected: 2016 | YAMAHA | DRIVE (YDRA), 2016 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF2A), 2016 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF1A), 2016 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF2E), 2016 | YAMAHA | DRIVE (YDRE), 2017 | YAMAHA | DRIVE2 (DR2A), 2017 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF2E), 2017 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF2A), 2017 | YAMAHA | DRIVE2 (DR2E), 2017 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF1A), 2018 | YAMAHA | DRIVE2 (DR2E), 2018 | YAMAHA | DRIVE2 (DR2A), 2018 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF2E), 2018 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF2A), 2018 | YAMAHA | ADVENTURER (YTF1A)
