What's wrong?
The brake pedal on the 2010 Club Car Villager 2+2 Lsv is the driver's link to the hydraulic brake system. When you press the pedal, the brake arm turns around a pivot shaft and sends force into the brake linkage, which lets the hydraulic system apply braking force. A load-bearing weld between the brake arm and the pivot shaft is supposed to keep that joint solid when the pedal is pressed.
In this recall, that critical weld is missing on affected vehicles. Without the weld, the brake arm and pivot shaft are not properly tied together under pedal load. Pressing the pedal then puts stress on a joint that was not finished as designed, so the pedal assembly can lose the solid mechanical connection it needs to transfer braking force.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign can be a brake pedal that does not respond normally when you press it.

What's the safety risk?
A missing weld can let the brake pedal fail during operation, causing loss of braking and raising crash risk. Because the failure involves the pedal itself, schedule recall service soon and avoid regular use until the repair is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Club Car dealer once available.

- Bring the recall notice if Club Car mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V378 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra stopping distance and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
Club Car's remedy is a dealer inspection of the brake pedal assembly on the 2010 Villager 2+2 Lsv. At the dealer, a Club Car technician checks whether the pedal is missing the load bearing weld between the brake arm and pivot shaft. If the pedal is affected, the technician replaces it. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.
