June 27, 2008
E-Z-GO is recalling about 16,500 RXV Golf Cars. The hip restraints on the cars can detach at the base, posing a fall and injury risk to consumers.

This recall involves electric and gasoline-powered Fleet RXV, Freedom RXV and RXV Shuttle 2+2 golf cars. The model names and the E-Z-GO logo are printed on the sides and front panel of all three vehicles. Serial numbers ranging from 9300001 to 9300188 and 5000000 to 5021328 are printed on a plate attached to the steering column, and the front and rear frames.

The cars were sold by E-Z-GO and independent golf car dealers nationwide from January 2008 to June 2008 for between $7,000 and $9,000. They were made in the United States.

Consumers should contact the nearest E-Z-GO dealer to arrange for a free repair. E-Z-GO and E-Z-GO dealers are contacting known owners.
