The defect
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."
The 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.
The 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.
