Wiring: fuses and circuit breakersRecall 02V-225 · 2003 Club Car Pathway
CLUB CAR, INC. recall 02V-225 covers 3,552 2003 Club Car Pathway for a wiring: fuses and circuit breakers problem, reported to NHTSA on August 15, 2002.
Source: NHTSA recall 02V225000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
CERTAIN 2-PASSENGER, OPEN BODY, VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 500, "LOW-SPEED VEHICLES." ELECTRICAL RELAYS RATED FOR 12-VOLTS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN PLACE OF RELAYS RATED FOR 48-VOLTS.
The risk
THE 12-VOLT RELAYS SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL DUE TO OVERVOLTAGE, RENDERING THE BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE. INOPERABLE BRAKE LAMPS WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN OPERATED IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.
The fix
CLUB CAR WILL PROVIDE FIELD TEAMS TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION AND REPLACE PARTS AS REQUIRED WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE OWNER OR END USER. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2002. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CLUB CAR AT 1-800-258-2227, EXTENSION 3820.
ALSO, CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
