The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says Vanderhall North America LLC of Provo, Utah, is recalling about 190 model year 2024-2026 Brawley GTS Electric Recreational Off-road Vehicles because the seat belts can lock up. The recall was announced November 5, 2026. Vanderhall has received 11 reports of the problem, and no injuries have been reported.
What's Being Recalled?
The recall covers all model year 2024-2026 Brawley GTS electric off-road vehicles, made in the United States. Colors include Ivory White, Obsidian Black, Royal Blue, Ida Rose, Bosco Blue, Atomic Green, Rossa, Jean Gray and Emerald Green Metallic. They were sold at Vanderhall dealers in Utah, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arizona from April 2024 to June 2026 for about $50,000. The distribution is limited to eight states, so check whether you bought from one of those dealers. The VIN is under the dashboard on the driver's side, and the Vanderhall logo is on the bottom of each door. The affected VIN ranges are:
- 2024 models: XXXXXXXXXXX005927-XXXXXXXXXXX005990
- 2025 models: XXXXXXXXXXX005992- XXXXXXXXXXX006074
- 2026 models: XXXXXXXXXXX006077- XXXXXXXXXXX006152
Why Was This Product Recalled?
The CPSC says the seat belts can permanently lock up in the fully retracted position. If that happens, consumers cannot reset the belt and put it on while the vehicle is operating. This poses injury and crash hazards. Vanderhall has received 11 reports of the seat belt locking up, and no injuries have been reported.
What Should You Do?
Stop using the vehicles immediately and contact an authorized Vanderhall dealer to schedule a free repair. The CPSC says a technician will install an insert into the seat belt guide slot on each seat, which reduces the speed at which the belt retracts and prevents the lockup.
