They don't want to choke their maint shop.

The technicians conducting the change are not employees of the Villages Golf Cart shop, they work directly for Yamaha.

Did you happen to get a part # of the assembly? Or a photo?

Didn't think to do that. At the event I attended there was a table full of the assemblies with several of them open. Anyone could walk over to the table and take a picture.

In the pictures above you can see the current spring is a single coil which has a loop at each end to attach it. The new assembly consists of two springs, one inside the other, made of heavier material, and with a bracket and bolt at each end rather than a loop.

Sure would be nice if someone could get a photo of the part and part #.

I read 2016 to present. They were looking at them on arrival at the Everglades location and telling people whether it needed replaced. After sitting in line, when I got to the repair station the Yamaha tech said that only a small percentage have failed, but TV decided to replace them all because if it happens, it stays in the full throttle position.

Bill14564....that would be 10 carts per hour, NOT 50!

60 min/hour / 5 min/cart/technician -> 12 cart/hour/technician * 4 technician -> 48 cart/hour ~ 50 carts/hour

The Yamaha recall notice says NOT TO DRIVE CART UNTIL IT IS REPLACED. Having said that, hasn’t broke yet, 2000 miles in 4 months. Going to see if I can get a spring handed to me, swap out myself. But I don’t think the dealer will do that, liability and all. In which case, it will wait til my 2500 mile service. If then…

I’d appreciate if someone would let me know if I’m wrong on this.

I have a 2024, and received the letter…

Not sure what he saw as the spring does not look visible from where he was standing

My want to double check by serial number. Mine is a 2024 and I received the recall letter. I don’t believe this to be a hurry and fix deal. The springs may have a slight crease in them from a bad production run. The creased area may eventually fail. Only takes a quick second to pull any floor may and the floor board to take a peak.

If you bought a cart form Village Discount Golf they won't notify you of recalls. Their emphasis is on "discount"

Does the letter you received have a table of affected models by year and serial number like the link in post #5 does?

Just wonder if it's limited to the 2023 year mentioned in the recall on the Yamaha motors CPSC recall page, the 2016-2022 years as noted in the link on post #5, or almost any year seeing as you received a letter for your 2024.

Here is the latest version of The Villages Golf Cart notification.
Recall letter

Still would appreciate someone getting a photo of the part and a photo showing the part #.
