Golf Carts Failing Breaks

If you play golf, you may want to pay attention to a recent recall, or you could end the game with a bigger handicap than you started with.

Club Car LLC. is recalling its golf carts, hospitality, transportation and utility vehicles after reports that the brake pedal may break off, possibly causing an accident. So far, two occurrences of the breaks cracking have been reported, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
