SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- VANCRAFT LLC (VanCraft) is recalling certain 2014-2023 SWB, LWB, 2023 LWB Pro, 2023-2024 Rover, Rover XL and Alltrek campervans. The reinforcement hardware, mounting hardware, and seat belt anchor bolts in the rear bench seating system may fail under load. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
- What it can cause
- Hardware failure may prevent the seat and/or seatbelt from adequately restraining an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install new seat belt anchor hardware, flooring reinforcement, and reinforced bench seat bars, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 19, 2024. Owners may contact Vancraft customer service at 1-888-381-7333.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 255 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 10 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V854000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by VANCRAFT LLC with NHTSA on November 8, 2024 as campaign 24V855000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
