Club CAR Precedent Recall 16V136: Golf cart windshield may not protect occupants in a crash

NHTSA campaign 16V136, reported March 4, 2016, 34 vehicles potentially affected.

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.
