Textron, manufacturer of specialized vehicles, has announced the recall of the E-Z-GO RXV Personal Transportation Vehicle. 
As announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the vehicles are recalled because the “steering knuckles and A-arms can break during or after an impact and cause loss of steering control, posing crash and injury hazards.”
The recall affects about 34,000 E-Z-GO vehicles sold between January 2022 and September 2022. Recalled vehicles have a model year of 2022 or 2023, and sell under the names Freedom and Valor.
