What happened

E-Z-GO is recalling golf, shuttle, and off-road utility vehicles sold under the E-Z-GO, Cushman, and Bad Boy Buggies brand names because the steering wheel nut may not have been tightened sufficiently, which reduces steering control and can result in a crash. The recall affects gas- and electric-powered, four-wheeled vehicles with bench seats, including E-Z-GO TXT Fleet golf cars, E-Z-GO Freedom TXT and Shuttle 2+2 TXT personal golf cars, E-Z-GO Express, E-Z-GO Terrain, Cushman Shuttle vehicles, and Bad Boy Buggies HD, LD, LTO, and LT Safari utility vehicles. E-Z-GO and Cushman vehicles have serial numbers from 2823208 to 2850425 and from 3000001 to 3003187, while Bad Boy Buggies vehicles have serial numbers from 8005089 to 8006013. Serial numbers are printed on a plate or label inside the cab below the driver's seat.

Consumers with affected vehicles should immediately stop using them and contact E-Z-GO or an authorized dealer for a free repair. E-Z-GO and E-Z-GO dealers are already contacting known owners.
