Vanderhall recalls 2024–2026 Brawley GTS Electric off-road vehicles over seat belts that can lock up

The seat belts in the vehicles can permanently lock up in the fully retracted position, so riders could not reset and put on the belt while the vehicle is operating, which poses injury and crash hazards.

What to do

Stop using the recalled vehicles immediately and contact an authorized Vanderhall dealer to schedule a free repair. A technician will install an insert into the seat belt guide slot on each seat to prevent the lockup.
