Seats And Restraints#2014258June 27, 2014
127,497 units affected
On certain child car seats, the release button on the buckle guides the caregiver’s finger to the center of the button, rather than towards the top. Consumers relying on touch and pressing in the center of the button may have more difficulty in releasing the harness than they would by pressing the button in the more optimal location near the top edge. Additionally, the position of the buckle close to the child occupant’s thighs may cause manipulation of the buckle to be more difficult as the child occupant grows in size. As a result, users may experience difficulty unlatching or be unable to unlatch the buckle, which could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation. Correction: Registered owners will receive a letter containing proper use instructions and information on how to obtain a replacement buckle. Non-registered owners of affected car seats, or owners who have moved should contact the Canadian distributor, Elfe Juvenile Products, at 1-800-667-8184 or service@graco.net to obtain a free repair kit or if they have any questions. Consumers can also obtain information or register online for a free repair kit at: www.graco.net. <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-1417.html">Click here for more information</a>
Seats And Restraints#2014217June 6, 2014
53,212 units affected
Certain child seats may not comply with the dynamic testing requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 213 - Child Restraint Systems. The car seat's adjustable carrying handle could change adjustment position during a crash, contrary to the requirements of the standard. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy the non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
