Bad Boy recall: Vehicle speed control
What is wrong
Bad boy enterprises is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 low speed vehicles (lsv) known as the classic lsv model (including the stretch models) manufactured from november 10, 2009 through may 24, 2010. This recall does not apply to xt lsv models. The accelerator pedal can become damaged due to exposure to water. A damaged pedal can send a voltage reading outside the range expected by the controller, and the controller will send current and voltage to the electric motor causing unintended acceleration.
What could happen
Unintended acceleration could result in a crash.
The fix
Bad boy will notify owners and dealers will replace the accelerator pedal free of charge. The safety recall began on july 30, 2010. Owners may contact bad boy at 1-866-678-6701.
