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.
Everything above this is the notice’s own text. This paragraph is ours, and it is here because the notice cannot be read correctly without it.
