What to do about Product safety

Yamaha — A consumer product hazard prompted this recall, and the remedy — refund, repair or replacement — is funded by the company, not by you.

  1. Stop using the product and move it somewhere a child or pet cannot reach it.
  2. Follow the remedy the notice specifies, and register the claim before you destroy anything.
  3. If the product already hurt someone, file a report at SaferProducts.gov.
  4. Check the model number and date code against the identifiers on this page, and photograph them.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled UMAX Bistro and Bistro Deluxe vehicles and contact an authorized Yamaha Golf Car dealer to schedule a free replacement of the label. A Yamaha dealer will replace the label at the vehicle's location.
