- Problem
- Hardkore Karts LLC (Hardkore Karts) is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Club Car Precedent golf carts equipped with the street package, manufactured July 1, 2013, to November 1, 2016. These vehicles do not have a vehicle identification number (VIN), certification label or DOT compliant windshield. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, a non-compliant windshield may have an increased risk of occupant injury compared to a DOT-compliant, safety-glass windshield.
- Remedy
- Hardkore Karts will notify owners, and provide a VIN, the correct certification label and install the correct windshield, free of charge. The recall was planned to begin on March 7, 2016. Owners may contact Hardkore Karts customer service at 1-877-796-5501.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
These golf carts were built with a windshield that is not DOT-compliant safety glass, and they lack a vehicle identification number and the required certification label. Because the windshield does not meet federal standards, occupants may face a greater risk of injury than with a proper safety-glass windshield if the cart is involved in a crash.
Hardkore Karts LLC will notify owners and, free of charge, provide a VIN, the correct certification label, and install a compliant windshield. Owners can contact Hardkore Karts customer service at 1-877-796-5501. You can also check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
