The short answer
NHTSA received VANCRAFT LLC’s report on Nov 8, 2024. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Hardware failure may prevent the seat and/or seatbelt from adequately restraining an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
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 the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
