One thought on “Yamaha Drive2 Golf Car Recall

  1. 2021 Yamaha/Linhai LH200U Drive2 EFI have the same problem with Front Hub. The Front Hub cracked less then a year of purchase. Also Warranty was not accepted from original dealer. These Golf carts should not be sold in U.S.A. Parts were very difficult to find.
