Club Car has issued a recall for golf carts, hospitality, transportation and utility vehicles after reports that the brake pedal may break off, which could cause an accident

According to the CPSC announcement, when the brake pedals crack and separate, the vehicles lose braking ability. The recall affects a wide variety of Club car vehicles, including electric and gas golf cars, hospitality vehicles and other transport vehicles used for short-distance transportation.
